Nice! It’s a good signal.

This one has always made me wonder: Where does one become a compiler engineer?
It seems like a mighty specific field of training. Someone self trained from GPL projects might even introduce concerns of GPL related concept could even be dangerous, so I assume a lot of self teaching is out (and if it wasn’t, would be might darn hard to prove your qualifications due to the nature of most open source projects)
So, I am curious : short of trying to hire someone back from MS, or maybe someone sick of CodeWarrior - where does one train to become a compiler engineer? (and yes, you could enter as jr and work your way up, but that isn’t the goal here clearly)
I ask not to be snotty, but because the concept interests me.

"Are you a compiler engineer looking for an exciting challenge?"
How many people on earth can be considered (or self proclaimed) as a compiler engineer?
The most normal people will go upto crafting a compiler using lex and yacc tool, and this already takes me FOREVER to write a parser to understand delphi language!

including .NET? I thought C++/CLI was removed from the road map.

Lex -> Don’t read too much into that. The IDE has .net dependancies and it asks for knowledge and experience of windows platforms - basically telling unix only programmers that they don’t want to have to teach them how to run windows for a month before they are productive.

Hi,
well… it definitely seams to be a good sign! however, compiler engineers don’t "grow in trees". the job should be well in six figures (especially in scotts valley).
in order to save space on mike’s inbox, let’s see a few people who secured this position in the past:
Anders Hejlsberg (Microsoft, "father" of Turbo Pascal, Object Pascal and C# languages), Danny Thorpe (ex Microsoft currently with confidential employer), Eli Boling (confiential employer), Adam Marcovitz (Falafel), John Wigley (gnu). There are currently other ex borlanders mostly employed by confidential employers or engaged in gnu activities (you will be amazed how many and what positions they secure in compiler, linker, debugger over there versus what positions they used to secure with Borland) who could get the job done, but…
Good Luck Mike!

just got an idea… why don’t you ask bruneau to accommodate this role (not over night, of course)
just my $.02

Why not? I studied computer sience at ETH in Zürich. One of my teachers was Niklaus Wirth (the father of Pascal, Modula, Oberon).
In the last 10 years, I worked (enhancing, maintaining, fixing bugs in all parts of the system, form the Kernal to the user layer) on a 64 Bit Operating System (NOS/VE running an Cyber), designed a PC based storage system for the Cyber (on the PC side: PCI/IPI Adapter board, an Application written in Delphi, a Driver in C++) and supported several Compilers for NOS/VE.
We are currently porting/rewriting the applications from the Cyber to PC (Delphi, C++, C#) and so my OS development work is scheduled to end this fall and I’m open for new projects.
