A friend asked me today what the hot research topics in compilers are. Aside from compiling for parallel machines, which must be the hottest topic since it's what I'm interested in :-), what do people think are the most promising areas for future compiler research? I do have some opinions, and I'm going to skim some Proceedings before giving my friend an answer, but I thought it would be interesting to collect opinions from the net. If people reply by email I'll summarize. -- Send compilers articles to compilers@iecc.cambridge.ma.us or {ima | spdcc | world}!iecc!compilers. Meta-mail to compilers-request.
