Sometimes compilers can surprise and delight even a jaded old engineer like me
Essentials of Compilation
Compilers are notoriously difficult programs to teach and understand. Most books about compilers dedicate one chapter to each progressive stage, a structure ...
Modular: The Claude C Compiler: What It Reveals About the Future of Software
Compilers occupy a special place in computer science. They're a canonical course in computer science education. Building one is a rite of passage. It forces you to confront how software actually works, by examining languages, abstractions, hardware, and the boundary between human intent and machine execution.

A Coming Revolution in Metaprogramming | Will Crichton
A single programming language is no longer enough. I predict that soon, the best programmers will fluently move between languages and the best languages will interoperate well with others. This interoperability will likely stem from strong metaprogramming facilities. I examine how we might build a programmable compiler and look at recent work toward that end.
Claude Is Not a Compiler - exe.dev blog
In early 2025, I wrote Is Claude a Compiler? At the time, my answer was: I don’t know.
Compiling knowledge, not retrieving it: a hands-on deep dive into llm-wiki-compiler
The thesis of this piece is simple and uncomfortable: the problem of making an LLM “remember” what you’ve read isn’t solved with more…
Its Time for a New Programming Language
Today, when compared to any other point in programming history, we find ourselves spoiled for choice when it comes to programming…

What I Found Interesting in Claude Code's Source
A breakdown of the most interesting engineering patterns in Claude Code's leaked source code: composable system prompts, runtime instruction injection, context compression, forking, prompt caching architecture, and more.

Fool's Expertise | The Observation Deck
I listened to the recent Ezra Klein interview with Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, which seems to be something of a Rorschach test for AI doomerism: if you are inclined to see doom, Jensen sounds dismissive, but if you (like me) do not fear for the future of humanity at the (metaphorical!) hands of a computer program, Jensen’s responses seem very reasonable. (With some exception: does this guy really not know his own zip code?!)

Head of Claude Code, Boris Cherny:"You're not supposed to write code anymore. You're supposed to build a graph that writes itself."In 30 minutes he breaks down how engineers at Anthropic build graphs that write the code, catch the bugs, and ships.Most engineers build… https://t.co/I3b2Rt2ul3 pic.twitter.com/UCPTCr1Sl7— Mahax (@Mahaximus_) September 7, 2026
