Stop Doing Compilers

STOP DOING COMPILERS • CODE WAS NOT SUPPOSED TO USE CODE AS INPUT • YEARS OF PARSING yet NO REAL-WORLD USE FOUND for ANYTHING MORE THAN REGEX • Wanted to run code on computers? We had a tool for that: 010000100100100101001110010000010101001001011001 • "Yes I would like to sext chars please. Please zext this boolean." – Statements dreamed up by the utterly deranged LOOK at what compiler engineers have been demanding your Respect for all this time (This is REAL compiler construction, done by REAL compiler engineers and researchers): ?????? ?????? ???????????????? "Hello I would like the iterated dominance frontier for this basic block please" They have played us for absolute fools

Мем высмеивает сложность и абсурдность теории компиляторов: сверху перечисляются якобы бессмысленные требования, а ниже показаны запутанные схемы построения компилятора. Внизу пользователь просит итерационный фронт доминирования для базового блока, и шутка в том, что инженеры компиляторов якобы годами скрывали от всех крайне сложную и непонятную работу. EN: The meme mocks the complexity and absurdity of compiler theory: the top lists supposedly pointless requirements, while the bottom shows tangled compiler-construction diagrams. At the end, a user asks for the iterated dominance frontier of a basic block, with the joke being that compiler engineers have supposedly hidden extremely complicated and incomprehensible work from everyone for years.
