What use does Tesla have with a compiler developer

he's a manager these days. running a team that's writing a compiler is not fundamentally different from running a team writing some other kind of software.

yeah i cant imagine a programming job more satisfying than being deeply involved in projects like swift and llvm.

working on compilers and dev tools was literally the only thing he'd ever done professionally, so even if you're right and he had the best possible job to have it seems natural to eventually want to try something different to at least have a point of comparison.

D has fairly complete support for C++, with the main quirk being that you have to explicitly instantiate any templates you want to be able to use from D

java's jni stuff all has full support for c++ but that doesn't really count since you're still writing a wrapper layer

it'd be funny if they get Kotlin Native up and running by the time Swift gets ABI compatibility

kotlin looks nice if targeting java is a requirement but i don't really see any reason to use kotlin native other than for porting existing code
