About this Talk

We all have pretty little things laying around in our codebases. They’re not exactly The Big Thing™, but they’re nice and useful nonetheless. They’re bits of specifications, or schemas, or even documentation. Yet, we seldom give them the same love we give to our actual code, and our poor little things just stay there, unloved and half-forgotten. But we can do better and give these things the love they deserve, by writing them “pretty little compilers”.
