I want to read a #compiler book written in the last 15 years that covers same topics as the Modern Compiler Implementation book by Appel, but uses recent terminology, tools and techniques. Any recommendations? #compilers #programminglanguages

EDIT: It seems like no such book exists. I guess I’ll have to read docs, blogs and papers along with old books to put things together myself.

“Hedge funds will go to great lengths in pursuit of #profits, whether it is by counting cars in satellite photos of parking lots or shipping gold across the Atlantic. Building a #compiler—a piece of #software that turns human-written code into programs a computer can execute—for your homegrown language? That still raises eyebrows.

#JaneStreet is the quant shops’ quant shop, and it does just that, with great success. Last year its trading revenue almost doubled, to $21bn, putting it on a par with giants such as #Citigroup and #MorganStanley. And the goose that lays the golden egg is its #tech system.

But it is what this system is built from that is really unusual. Other firms employ a hotchpotch of #ProgrammingLanguages, allowing staff to choose the right one for the job. At Jane Street almost everyone works in an obscure tongue developed by French academics: #OCaml.

Ask a #trader at the firm for its benefits and they will reel off a string of features, such as its support for #StaticTyping and #FunctionalProgramming, that make it hard to learn but powerful when applied to a problem. The company says the language helps “maximise the #productivity of each person we hire”.”

I really enjoyed @Felienne's narrative about narratives about Computer Science yesterday. She applied some of the ideas presented in the Glaciers, Gender and Science paper (journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/1) to her experiences in the Computer Science / Programming Languages communities. She's also starting a reading club to brainstorm the meaning (and the name?) of the field of "Computer Science".

Felienne presents a slide in which a cartoon version of herself says "'Programming language' is a social construct", and presents a timeline where the 1960s are labelled with two quotes: "Programming requires patience and eye for detail ..." and "Women are naturals at computer programming".
Felienne presents her title slide: A narrative about narratives about Computer Science. She drew cute cartoons of her and her collaborator.
Felienne presents a slide with a cartoon picture of herself, with a thought bubble that visualises the bias that "hard = value" and "easy != value" through the metaphor of the fact that we know more about remote glaciers high up in mountains than about glaciers that are right next to where people live.
