I had the great pleasure of studying compilers, and then optimizing compilers, with Dybvig at IU in the late 2000s. He was a phenomenal professor; obviously deeply knowledgeable (that's a given), but also uncommonly gifted at imparting that knowledge.
- keith_analog 1y agoI had the good fortune to be in Dybvig’s compilers class in the mid 2000s. The way it was presented really brought the concepts to life and made it enjoyable.
- Vivtek 1y agoOne of the funniest moments I remember from that class is he suddenly noticed the parens didn't match in the snippet he'd written on the board - so he counted through the trailing ))))) and inserted a close paren at the right place.
