College teaching of compilers turned me off them entirely. Specifically avoided them when I joined Microsoft. I only ended up on compilers because I was following managers I trusted and respected. Turns out production compilers are so much more interesting and fun.
I hate how compilers are taught in college. They take a trivially easy problem: convert a text file to machine code, and make it absurdly hard. You can do 90% of a compilers job if you know how to read text from a file and look for keywords. Everything else is bookkeeping.

Working on C# has really driven home for me that languages are defined by the ecosystem of tools that support them. A language with just a compiler is basically a toy.
Expectations from a new programming language are crazy nowadays. A new language has to. Have a formatter.Have a linter.Have a build tool.Have a package manager.Have documentation.Have project templates.Have a friendly community.Have a minimal ecosystem of CLI parsers, web.
