According to your bio you're a lapsed ME, like myself. Do you think not coming from a CS background gives you an opportunity for novel solutions in compiler development work?
[My first real project used Zortech C++ for OS/2, thanks for the fond memories...]
- WalterBright 13y agoI think not coming from a CS background has resulted in me reinventing the wheel on several occasions. (I thought I'd had a brilliant insight, only to be told it was well known.) I'm credited with a few innovations (like NRVO), but for the most part I just put together novel combinations of other peoples' ideas :-)
