Anders Hejlsberg on Modern Compiler Design
Kasper · Lecture · YouTube title: Anders Hejlsberg on Modern Compiler Construction
Why it's here
It is the standard reference for why modern compilers and language servers differ from textbook designs, cited in rust-analyzer and parsing threads.
What it covers
Anders Hejlsberg whiteboards how compilers are taught versus how modern ones are actually built. He explains the shift to compilers as services with incremental, error-tolerant, IDE-oriented design, as in Roslyn and TypeScript.
