One of the authors here, happy to answer any questions! (Particularly about the Julia integration)

Julia has an interesting split here, it does the lowering into SSA from in pure Julia and then has a codegen steps that translates the SSA from into LLVM IR, but for that second st…

Arcanist is a but of a bother, but please do submit the patch.

Having recently had the pleasure of having to debug JIT-compiled code with an ABI mismatch, I can't overstate how useful `rr` ( https://github.com/mozilla/rr ) can be to debug asse…

Julia is particularly sensitive to LLVM compile times. LLVM 11 did improve those over LLVM 10 (which had noticeable regressions versus LLVM 9). As an example see https://github.com…

I don't disagree with the sentiment, but using the moon as an example is a bit far-fetched, as well as the metric being time. I thinkl it would be fair to say: Using the same amoun…

It all depends on which optimizations you enable and LLVM is very flexible, albeit sometimes you still spend 20% of your time in ISel (Instruction Selection)...

It's being worked on. I am rather excited for the upcoming work that makes the parser replaceable and allows us to actually give good syntax errors! There is some discussion about …

I recently spend two weeks on and off hunting down a bug on a platform that didn't support `rr`. I am fairly confident to say that if I had `rr` available it would have taken me a …

We are indeed interested in targeting AMD GPUs. There is a prototype backend available at https://github.com/JuliaGPU/AMDGPUnative.jl and we are closely following the status of SPI…

Über just means above. So "über dir" is "above you". Urban dictionary has uber in english to mean superior, but that is not the original German meaning.

It's not about Upwork intentionally skewing the results as you pointed out, but that there is a potentially sampling bias. Upwork might only attract certain kinds of programming jo…

As far as I know he bought that license for one of his student at the time, Alan Edelman, who then ended up co-creating the Julia language.

I especially use rr as an exploration tool. It allows me to ask not the question "Where does the program go from here", but rather "Where did it come from". I couldn't do my daily …

It does by default so you can use gdb/lldb and perf on Julia code.

If Intel had one, they would have further consolidated their hold on the HPC/Supercomputer market. Summit is an interesting supercomputer because it's NVidia/Mellanox/IBM instead o…

I particularly enjoy that Flux.jl is an AD framework and a couple lines of Julia code defining convenience functions for ML, and it is all written in Julia so it invites exploratio…

Take a look at CUDAnative.jl ( https://github.com/JuliaGPU/CUDAnative.jl ) which uses the NVPTX LLVM backend to compile Julia code to the GPU. What you described sounds very simila…
