We recently conducted India's first and largest compiler technology workshop in Bangalore, on 28th-29th September , known as Innovations in Compiler Technology (IICT) - which was attended by not only compiler enthusiasts and developers - but also some of the compiler experts from academia and industry.

Having them under one roof is a rare event - so we made the most of this opportunity and created this video featuring the experts. We asked couple of questions including, What inspired them to pursue compilers ? What are they working on and why ? Advice for the students. Their experience being a part IICT 2024 - making this video much more than a testimonial video. This video is packed with words of wisdom and we are sure this will make the viewers have myriad of emotions - ranging from nostalgia, admiration to inspiring the future generation to explore and make an impact via compilers.

Thanks to all the speakers who featured in the video.
