I have been preaching things like this for a long time, but Steve here is a bit more fluent about explaining it. I’ll not try to turn you off to the ideas presented here by summarizing it before you read it. Honestly, it’s the perfect expression of a relatively amorphous emotion I’ve had about compilers and their place in the world of CS for a long time, (but obviously I can’t take credit for the quality of Steve’s writing, of course.)

Make yourself read it though, please, if you never do another thing for me as long as you know me. (Halo_Four, if you’re reading this, this means you too.)
