> What are the companies that do exciting stuff in compilers? Some companies solve problems that have a larger component of parsing and evaluating things. One example is Hasura's SQL-to-GraphQL layer: https://hasura.io/ https://hasura.io/ Another example is GitHub's CodeQL: https://github.com/github/codeql https://github.com/github/codeql A third example -- I forget the name of the company -- parses Counter-Strike games real-time and restructures this data for better analytical introspection, e.g. for betting, time-scrollable replay, 2D rendering, etc. There appears to be a lot of hard-earned knowledge going from a stream of events monkey-patched over two decades, to a complete model of a game (who's on what team, who is dead, what round is this, etc.) Microsoft does a lot of interesting compiler-related stuff, too, of course. Then there's blockchain: A lot of programming-language enthusiasts have been employed to write VMs and DSLs to express safe application-level environments. An example is Anoma's Juvix: https://github.com/anoma/juvix https://github.com/anoma/juvix A job I was looking at involved building a more programmatic interface to some legacy SCADA systems, i.e. make old factory monitoring systems interoperate via a DSL. The idea, I think, is to transform and manage the configuration files from a dynamic GUI system, but not employ people to drag-and-drop; rather, express this as code. tl;dr: If your main tool is a compiler, there are compiler problems everywhere.
