Congratulations on the launch! I am interested to know the choice of runtime (in this case - TypeScript) for the implementation of the integrations. What are some reasons that a systems language such as Go was not chosen?



This course single-handedly became the reason for me to clear interviews at all the compiler engineering teams of MANGA (Meta, Apple, NVIDIA, Google, Amazon) companies when I was searching for my first full-time job while completing my Bachelors. My University's (University of Waterloo) curriculum around low-level computing systems was already par excellent, and of'course I was also contributing to open source compiler projects. But this course really helped me answer some of the toughest questions during my interviews!


> par excellent

It's "par excellence", and it feels weird in that sentence structure anyways. A better way to put it would've been "my university has the low level computing systems curriculum par excellence".

Why the bitter ad hominem? What or who hurt you that you can't let people like what they want? Bridging the hardware-software gap is hard, regardless of you appreciating it or not.


Don't engage with those types of comments. Flag them and move on.


Given that your comment has nothing to do with what I said, I’m assuming you misunderstood or are replying to the wrong one?

“Weird comment” isn’t attacking the person (ad hominem) for who they are it’s attacking the action they chose to take. Likewise I don’t see how you took “let them have this one” as not letting people like what they want (granted, the GP comment wasn’t about liking something, it was a failed attempt to flex prior knowledge of this course, interviews at prestigious companies, and knowledge of esoteric language so I’m not entirely sure what you’re even referring to.) My comment didn’t mention “the hardware-software gap” or give any opinion on whatever that is so again..no clue what you’re on about


This is going to be my daily driver to schedule our team meetings, great work! A feature request would be to give me the option to input the time apart from the existing slider input.


That is my bad. There is no implication for the index position as such. Whenever a file changes/updates, the prefix is matched with the procs object and if it matches, the respective processes restart.


Hi HN! I am a senior at the University of Waterloo. In my sophomore year, I had to take an introductory compiler course where we created a compiler for the WLP4 language almost from scratch. WLP4 is a subset of C++. I worked on this side-project not only to better understand the LLVM framework but also to brush up my compiler theory knowledge. I learnt about the Earley parsing algorithm while working on this project and I have used the same inside the project. It is still a WIP since I want to add tests as well as debug information support. I'd love to hear your thoughts and feedback!

This is so cool! Especially for us university students who are taught MIPS in our compilers course, it will be cool to use this to re-create the emulator our University uses to run our MIPS ASM code.


I remember we did SPARC assembly in college and the only way to test your program was to ssh into a single ancient SPARC server.

I actually started building an emulator because I thought it might be easier than dealing with that workflow. One sleepless weekend later it turned out I was very wrong.
