- mrtranscendence 6y agoI’m interested. I may not have the most relevant background, though — I’m a data scientist with an econometrics education. The topic really does interest me, though.
- nandaja 6y agoI'm a devops engineer. So not very related either!
- lanius 6y agoYes! How should we organize this? Maybe start with an IRC channel?
- hypersoar 6y agoI'm game. My background is in math and not CS, so I can't say I'm certain I have the prerequisite knowledge.
- jbquark 6y agoI would love to join as well. Loop me in too, if there is IRC channel
- nandaja 6y agoCreated a discord channel https://discord.gg/RBPmmdWg https://discord.gg/RBPmmdWg
- bensonalec 6y agoI would love to do so! I'm a masters student who has been wishing there was an advanced compilers course in my program, there's only the undergrad level one, so this is perfect! Let me know how I can get in contact.
- JackTheHopper 6y agoDo you have a group for us to join?
- nandaja 6y agoOkay, I just created this on discord https://discord.gg/RBPmmdWg https://discord.gg/RBPmmdWg. Considering it might be more accessible for people. Wondering if I should post this out of the thread.
- thechao 6y agoIf you have to stop "early" please get through the simple DCE and LVN passes. A solid basic-block level DCE & LVN optimization along with a judicious "compile time evaluator" (simple constant folding) will let you produce code at around 80% of the level of LLVM. Obviously, you're not going to get the magic that comes of LLVM's scalar analysis pass, but you're not going to be embarrassed with your performance, either.
- joe_the_user 6y agoI'm interested. I'm writing a compiler-interpreter now but my broad compiler-construction chops are spotty and going through this systematically might be useful.
