Dennis Ritchie

The first phase of C was - really, it was two phases in short succession of, first, some language changes from B, really adding the type structure without too much change in the syntax, and doing the compiler. The second phase was slower; it all took place within a very few years, but it was a bit slower, so it seemed.

American Scientist

Eric S. Raymond

Thompson and Ritchie were among the first to realize that hardware and compiler technology had become good enough that an entire operating system could be written in C, and by 1978 the whole environment had been successfully ported to several machines of different types.

At least for the people who send me mail about a new language that they're designing, the general advice is: do it to learn about how to write a compiler.

Tim Berners-Lee

Any good software engineer will tell you that a compiler and an interpreter are interchangeable.

English Inventor

John Carmack

I'd rather have a search engine or a compiler on a deserted island than a game.

Compilers translate code so computers can understand it, similar to translating Spanish to English.

Translation Process

Each programming language typically has its own compiler designed for its syntax and rules.

Language Specificity

Compilers can identify coding errors before the program runs, helping developers fix issues.

Error Identification

A compiler of information organizes knowledge from various sources for easy reference.

Compilation Work

The term is often linked to academic or professional works involving research.

Academic Connection

A compiler must pay close attention to detail to maintain the integrity of the information.
