PL & Compilers Meetup (weekly agenda in desc)

Special topic for this week: Rust ownership and lifetimes. And why you might need to understand rustc compiler to solve some lifetime issues!

Have you ever wondered what happens after you write your program in any programming language and hit "Run"?

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 weekly and learn about:

• 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.
• Weekly topic to learn about particular aspect of programming languages or hardware

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!).
• Anyone who wants to learn more about programming languages nature!

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!
