We're now hiring someone to help work on the compiler and surrounding tools like program visualization and debugging. Help save civilization from the vicious feedback loop of bad software, and accompanying skill deterioration, into which we are getting stuck.

I'm looking for a systems-programmer kind of person for this role. Game and graphics experience is helpful but not required. Real experience with complex software written in systems programming languages like C or C++ is required...

Academic or industry experience with compilers may be a negative if you are very much a believer in the way those things are conceptualized and executed, because so much of that stuff is wrong or unnecessary. If you have worked on those things but see that much is done wrong,

that's a positive. DM me and we can discuss / I can give you further details how to apply. Please do not apply if you like web programming, or if you want to implement a garbage collector.

Do you have a take on Go's garbage collection? https://blog.golang.org/ismmkeynote  Looks beautiful to me.
