171: Compilers and Interpreters

Programming Throwdown episode 171, Compilers and Interpreters. Take it away, Jason. Hey everybody. This is uh super exciting. You know, we got this request from a listener.

Um, maybe later on the show I'll find out, remind myself who it was. But um, you know, they said, how about you folks do compilers and interpreters? Um, I can't believe we haven't done this episode. It seems so pivotal to uh to everything we do uh in software engineering. But but yeah, here we are to uh to uh lead the way.

I I have to confess, I don't know as much about compilers interpreter as Patrick, so Patrick's really gonna carry the water here, but I will add color commentary as appropriate. Um and before we get into that, I wanted to talk about monitor setups for a little bit. So I I was working next to somebody who had three monitors like side by side by side and they had three different things going on. You know, like they had one was for coding, another one was for email.
