Compilers, interpreters & program analysis Videos Recommended on Hacker News (98)

Compilers, interpreters & program analysis is one of the 150 topics Hacker News readers organize their video recommendations around. These 98 videos each earned real recommendations in real HN threads between 2007 and 2026 — 265 recommendations in total — and they're ranked by how many separate months the community kept coming back to them, not by view count.

Compilers and interpreters: parsing, building a compiler, LLVM, JIT, garbage collection, virtual machines, static analysis, abstract interpretation, optimization passes, live-coding a language.

Why HN keeps sending people here — on Rich Harris - Rethinking reactivity: “you can (and I heartily recommend doing so) watch the "Rethinking reactivity" video here” — an HN commenter, 2019.
