Working on compilers is fun, I should do this for a living sometime.

@thephd can recommend. Which is funny, because I don't think most people who get into GPU driver development do it because they want to write a compiler, but once you are there, you basically work on a compiler full time 🙃

@karolherbst @thephd Yeah, I don't particularly love writing compilers. But here I am, writing my 3rd. I think it's 3. It's 3 I've written (if you don't count the SPIR-V parser). But I've worked on more.

@gfxstrand @karolherbst @thephd I'm almost done writing my C parser. This time I really mean it!

@alison @gfxstrand @thephd don't worry, we'll be adding a C parser to Mesa sooner or later...
