CONTRIBUTOR TEAM
Cliff Click
Hi, I’m Cliff Click, I'm writing the backend and runtime APIs for Ecstasy.
I wrote my first compiler when I was 15 (Pascal to TRS Z-80!) and the original HotSpot JIT compiler for Java and the JVM: the Sea of Nodes IR, which was featured in both HotSpot and V8 and other compilers.
I have been building programming tools for 45 years and many parts of the JVM for 25 years, at Sun Microsystems, Azul Systems, and as a founder or early participant in half a dozen startups, including Neurensic (real-time fraud detection in capital markets) and 0xdata/H2O, where I co-created an open source math and machine learning engine for Big Data.
I have built OS's, optimizing compilers, worked on the design of novel low-pause GC algorithms and and hardware-software co-design, on clustered computing and distributed-computation languages, and on parallel implementations of many math algorithms including the world’s first distributed Gradient Boosted Machine.
I have also designed lock-free algorithms, the Sea of Nodes IR, and extensions to the Hindly Milner class of typing algorithms. I have contributed to many projects related to programming languages and hold about 20 patents and a PhD in Computer Science from Rice University.
Coffee Compiler Club
I love talking with fellow language designers and am the founder and host of Coffee Compiler Club , a weekly get-together of people interested in compilers, and open to anyone who wants to join.
