Cornell's free PhD compilers course, and why a WebAssembly co-founder flags one chapter (cs.cornell.edu)
CS 6120, Adrian Sampson's Cornell graduate compilers course, is fully self-guided online: 14 lessons from SSA to dynamic compilers, real PLDI/ASPLOS papers, and tasks you implement in Bril, a teaching IL built for the course.
The top comment is a working compiler engineer rerouting the syllabus: trace compilation is 'a dead end,' he says - the concepts that matter are type feedback, speculation and deoptimization.
