Here I talk with Yasser Arguelles Snape to learn about his work on compiler optimizers, and pick his brain about the architecture of low level software systems.
We discuss his experience as a young programmer, his work on Cuik and TB, the LLVM optimizer and what could be improved in a new iteration, the tradeoffs of ahead-of-time compilation and just-in-time compilation, various views of how debugging could be architected, and the benefits of having a rich run time for applications.
