Introduction to compiler engineering. Do we need compilers in the age of AI?

Have you ever wondered what happens after you write your program and hit "Build"?

Welcome to the new group dedicated to Compiler Engineering so we can discuss language design, static analysis, VMs, and code generation. Topics related to hardware architecture and FPGA are also welcomed!

Join us for the first session where I will cover:

• The vision for this group.
• A crash course on how to start learning compiler dev (including top book recommendations).
• An open networking session for showcasing projects and finding collaborators.

Who is this for?

• Anyone building DSLs or new languages.
• Anyone curious about low-level systems and programming
• Anyone hiring for compiler/toolchain roles (come pitch your jobs!).

This isn't a lecture—it's a conversation. Come share your projects and get motivated! This group is not super serious, so if you want to just yap about how bad is the new C++ standard you can find some listeners here.

See you!
