X Is a Compiler Alignment Chart
"X is a compiler" alignment chart Output Purist Output must be binary Output Neutral Output must be instructions Output Rebel Output can be anything Input Purist Input must be a program gcc is a compiler prettier is a compiler An orchestra is a compiler Input Neutral Input must be text Microsoft Word is a compiler Javadoc is a compiler AI Dungeon is a compiler Input Rebel Input can be anything A coin flip is a compiler Bop It! is a compiler The sun is a compiler
A three-by-three alignment chart classifies examples according to how strictly their input and output must conform to rules. The joke escalates from conventional tools like gcc and Javadoc to increasingly absurd examples such as an orchestra, a coin flip, Bop It!, and the sun, all being called compilers. It is sent as a humorous reaction to overly broad or pedantic definitions of what counts as a compiler.
