      Actually, I'm with you! That does sound like a really interesting class. If you like that kind of thing, check out http://llvm.org/[^] if you haven't already. Very cool stuff there!

        So last week was spring break here at UCSD[^], which means that our Winter academic quarter has ended and our Spring quarter has begun. Aside from the obvious "yay Spring!" excitement, I'm actually excited for a completely different reason. This quarter, I get to take CSE 131B[^], Compiler Construction II. Some of you may remember me talking about 131A, where I built an XQuery interpreter in Java (which was awesome). Well in this class we get to turn Oberon2 into SPARC assembly. :-D Yet another cool part is that Prof. Ord[^] is one of my absolute favorite professors ever. He's an awesome guy who loves to teach, makes it a lot of fun, and completely gets undergrad students. (A rarity at a "research school" where a lot of the profs hate teaching undergrads and just want to get back to their research.) I'm such a geek. I've been geeking out about getting to take this class for the last quarter. ("Next quarter I get to take compilers with Ord! w00t!") Even most of my compsci friends think I'm nuts (turns out not a whole lot of people like compilers or programming language theory...go figure...I love 'em). But I figured you, my CP brethren, would understand. :-D Anyway. Just wanted to share my elation. Today's the first day of class. :cool:

        It's too bad the rating system for Code Project messages only uses digits. It would be more appropriate for your posts if it had graphics of varying degrees of nerdness. Then we could rate you at the top of the INS (International Nerd Scale) as you so richly deserve. :)

          ;P You don't think compiler construction is fun? I think it's great. Developing a piece of software to turn your text into an actual running program is pretty nifty. :)

            I assume we're talking a theoretical branch of mathematics here. Possibly representing time as a mobius strip?

              Supposedly Apple is integrating some part of LLVM into the next gen of OS X, and GCC, and it is being used to (supposedly) add features like automatic garbage collection to Objective C[^], which is the preferred language of development on OS X.

                  Eh, thanks to the Internet, there's always a scantily clad college girl to be found. However being able to truly savor, understand, and expand upon, an advanced compiler class, that's a possible once in a lifetime thing :)

                          Now there's a trip. A hot summer day in '95 i spent reading through the specs of Oberon2. Never did much of anything with it though. Too impractical. Plus, i was completely stuck on Forth at the time. Pretty simple though - makes sense they'd use it for such a project.

                              You are a lot geekier (or perhaps nerdier) than the average Lounge population. While a good number of folks here may be interested in compiler construction, most people don't have the time, patience, passion or ability (or some combination of those) to pursue it in depth. I had compiler construction in college (under-grad, 6th semester), but the lecturer who taught us was such an ignorant idiot and had no clue what she was talking about. That's still not an excuse for my not spending some time understanding the topic on my own. Oh well, some things you can't go back and change. :sigh:

                                    If you enjoyed I, you will enjoy II even more. You get into some of the depths.

                                      He said he's going to UCSD. That's a year-round thing.

                                        Oh believe me. That's already happening. ;P A few friends of mine are trying to set me up with this girl who's in the finals to become a Charger Girl[^]. I would definitely consider that. :-D

                                          I assume we're talking a theoretical branch of mathematics here. Possibly representing time as a mobius strip?

                                          Or, how do you keep a geek busy for two years - hand him a girfriend who's bikini is a mobius strip and ask him to remove it ;)
