compilers

[Jetair]

I just finished some first chapters of a book on compilers. One thing I wonder is whether such compiler analysis would benefit me most for my future career. That is so vast. So I only would like to know how types and compilers are related, and what should be most important in a compiler designed to fit the standard ? Thanks

When I attended compiler classes at University, I never suspected it would help me so much. In the past years I was confrunted on a regular basis with compiler related issues, whether it was building a scripting language, parsing expressions, writing small virtual machines or other things.

I think knowing how to define a grammar and how compilers and interpreters work, not necessarly in great level of detailed, but as an overview, could help you in your future career.
