There's a guy you may have heard of, named Shriram Krishnamurthi. He's the author of the classic presentation at LL1, The Swine Before Perl. He has also written a free online textbook, Programming Languages: Application and Interpretation, plus scores of papers on programming languages, security, and verification. He's the senior advisor for FrTime, a functional reactive programming language in Scheme, and Flapjax which is the same thing for Javascript. He also happens to be my advisor at Brown.
He now has a blog. You may want to check it out.
