The work

What we are celebrating, specifically.

  • Years of work on the Swift compiler's generics system - one of the hardest parts of the language.
  • "Compiling Swift Generics": a freely published book that opens up the compiler's internals for anyone who wants to learn.
  • Creator of the Factor programming language, a long open-source labor of love.

Why

Why we celebrate them.

For taking the most intimidating corner of the Swift compiler and writing it all down in public, so the next generation of compiler engineers has a map.
