Wow, "writing lots of compilers and type checkers" definitely wasn't on my radar screen when I was in high school.

- pjmlp 12y agoI did an informatics technical degree on high school back in the early 90's in Portugal. We had introduction to parsing and basic language processing.
- Jtsummers 12y agoMe neither, but a classmate was reading over/working through the dragon book our senior year of high school. There's a reason he went to CMU and I didn't. On the other hand, compilers (well, a less than formal version) was the third CS course topic at GT. Definitely approachable, with good faculty/staff, as an early topic of study.
