I go to a pretty good uni (not elite, but global top 30) and they don’t have a compilers course, which I was very disappointed by. It’s even a theory heavy degree!
- p4bl0 6y agoWell, at least that says a lot about whatever is called "elite" and "global top N": it doesn't have any relevant meaning.
- hazz99 6y agoTo be fair, they’ve given me a great education and very valuable opportunities. I’m very appreciative! I just wish I didn’t have to self teach compilers.
- chrisseaton 6y agoThis really surprises me - looking down the THE and QS global rankings, I know that at least all the universities outside the Far East teach compilers. I guess you're not saying which university you're at to keep it anonymous, but I'd be interested to hear which it was.
- derangedHorse 6y agoWhich universities are you looking at? Mine technically had a compilers course but it wasn't required coursework and was generally offered every 2-3 years or so
- chrisseaton 6y agoThe top 30 in QS and THE. Most of them have major compiler research groups, even.
