The Design and Implementation of Probabilistic Programming Languagesby Noah D. Goodman, Andreas Stuhlmüller - dippl.org
This book explains how to implement PPLs by lightweight embedding into a host language. We illustrate this by designing WebPPL, a small PPL embedded in Javascript. We show how to implement several algorithms for universal probabilistic inference.
