Journey to Swift Compiler Engineering

The chapter delves into the journey of someone transitioning to become a Swift compiler engineer, starting from a mentorship program in Xcode to finding a passion for programming in university. It discusses the evolution of the Swift compiler from using C++ to Swift and the challenges faced in adopting new SDK features amidst minimum deployment target constraints. The chapter emphasizes rewriting code for substantial improvements while aiming to have the Swift compiler entirely written in Swift for improved safety and contributor approachability.
