I wish there were programs to help open source developers, who are already working on compilers, to get their work published and get credit for their effort.<p>Why should a person who pays a university to give them a project to do get a degree and recognition and someone who just likes compilers be left with some thumbs up on a mail list?
Great stuff! I've gotten pretty familiar with the way LLVM looks since Julia's `@code_llvm` in front of any function spits out the IR, which is something that can be useful to learn what's going on and debug performance. I agree that it's readily human readible. I hope to see a direct interface for adding passes to Julia in the near future.
