Jesus talks and articles have been very helpful to me.

Three years ago I had no idea how the Go runtime worked, but I very much wanted to learn more. I’m not a software engineer in the conventional sense, so reading the Go source was not a realistic option.

Jesus talks and articles inspired me to learn more. Today I feel comfortable with all stages of the general compiler pipeline. In the past few months I have studied the calculi of the lambda cube, Martin-Lof type theory, Horn-clause-based instruction selection, algorithms for register allocation, Milner’s CCS vs pi-calculus, which structures in compilers and kernels map to digraphs, and so on.
