7 If we've spoken recently I may have mentioned this new venture I've
8 been working on. Now is the time to elaborate on what I've been up to,
11 * The Compiler Company 12 The name is a play on the phrase
/Compiler Collection/, as in
[[https://gcc.gnu.org/][GNU 13 Compiler Collection (GCC)]] and emphasizes my approach to
14 problem-solving involving compiler technologies.
16 I recently registered as an LLC, but the purpose of the company is
17 that of a company incubator, or
/company compiler/ if you will. In
18 other words, I intend for
/The Compiler Company, LLC/ to be a hub for
19 developing various interconnected products and services which can be
20 operated and managed independently of each other.
22 I (Richard Westhaver) am the sole owner and operator and will probably
23 keep it that way for quite some time. My intention is to operate at
24 minimal cost while I perform industry research and develop prototypes.
28 /The Compiler Company/ provides two things on paper:
29 1. free and open-source software
30 2. professional consulting services
32 The software is made publicly available without restriction and anyone
33 can pay for paid professional consultations/training/etc.
35 The
/core/ of our software suite is an insanely powerful development
36 environment built from scratch. It is the catalyst of engineering for
37 every other software component I build and reflects how I believe
38 software should be developed
/today/.
40 The suite further contains a mixed bag of plugins, extensions,
41 libraries, and applications intended for software development in
42 addition to
/all/ vendored dependencies. This setup gives us complete
43 control over every possible piece of code we encounter in the systems
47 We have a long way to go. The important thing is to keep up the
48 momentum. Before the start of 2024 you can expect another update on
49 some of the projects below.
