I was at Google 3-8Y ago and noticed that language tools just didn't scale. gdb would take 60s to start on a 200MB binary (600MB with symbols) and often wouldn't start at all, or lost track of where i was in the program.
And this is why NVIDIA and Western Digital want RISC-V cores in their stuff, the ease of development. Plus, the instruction set is design for extremely simple decode logic, using set shifts from instruction encoding to registers for immediate instructions, directly wired register selection from the selection, a single location for sign extension bit.. so you can make a 15k gate, 32 bit processor with the embedded 16 or maybe all 32 registers. Even compressed instructions are just a direct LUT to an existing common base instruction.
Nice but hardware world is diff than open source software. Software can be used by everyone but hardware is still very locked in and . But they should aim for silly cheap projects that eventually grow. But very nice talk. Most talks don't even mention hw
A visionary and an icon.

Haha!
This is amazing! Very well presented.
Thanks Chris for a great talk. Very insightful and informative.
Excellent presentation. Thanks for the inspiring talk!
Great Chris Lattner, very impressive!

what is gdb ?
@@ZuhaBuba gdb is the gnu debugger, lets you step through C, C++ code, and perhaps other gnu compiler languages ...

Thanks Chris for a great talk.
Great talk Chris!
Great talk
Great talk!
does it provide annotation or tags for handwritten notes so you can search later by tag name?
Tx. You helped me.
7:30 Watcom C compiler, I remember that!
Really good, well done.
Excellent perspective and vision.

Superb!!...
Nice.
"let's go way back in time".... What, to when I'd already been a professional programmer for 10 years? ;)
and now mojo!

yeah but the hardware world is changing in case you haven't noticed
IF SSA used have you cross licecensed w IBM God bless Fran Allen
There are a hundred SSA optimizing compilers out there. Nobody is paying to license some idea from IBM, it’s not that unique.
No mention of VHDL nor that Wirth created hardware with his Oberon language way before chisel and this horrible python based stuff.
