This is hyperbole
- woodruffw 6y agoIt was a reference to Kant’s so-called Copernican Revolution in Philosophy. Philosophy existed before Kant just like program analysis existed before LLVM; I would argue that the state of the field is both fundamentally different and significantly more accessible than it was pre-LLVM.
