bend

bendlang/bend · ★ 23.7K

A high-level, massively parallel programming language. It feels like Python or Haskell (closures, unrestricted recursion, continuations) but scales across many cores and GPUs with no thread or lock code to write.

awesome-courses

prakhar1989/awesome-courses · ★ 71.9K

It is a curated list of free, high-quality computer science courses from universities around the world, each one making its lecture materials, assignments, notes and readings available online.

llvm-project

llvm/llvm-project · ★ 41.1K

LLVM is an open-source toolkit for constructing highly optimized compilers, optimizers, and run-time environments; this repository holds its source code.

foundry

foundry-rs/foundry · ★ 10.7K

Foundry is a blazing fast, portable and modular toolkit for Ethereum application development, written in Rust. It bundles four command-line tools: Forge, Cast, Anvil and Chisel.

    Modern-CPP-Programming

    16.2Kfederico-busato/Modern-CPP-Programming · HTML

    A free, open-access Modern C++ Programming course by Federico Busato covering standards from C++03 to C++26 — from language basics to advanced features, tools and optimization.

    acwj

    13.5KDoctorWkt/acwj · C

    A documented tutorial series where the author builds a self-compiling compiler for a subset of the C language, split into roughly 64 incremental parts, each with working source code and a written explanation of the theory behind it.

  3. 6

    c4

    10.8Krswier/c4 · C

    C4 is a tiny, self-hosting compiler and interpreter for a small subset of the C language, written in just four functions as an exercise in extreme minimalism.

    cpu-performance-engineering

    1.2Kusamahz/cpu-performance-engineering · Python

    A curated reading path for CPU performance engineering: it walks you from what one instruction does on a modern core to serving ML inference on CPUs, ordered so each piece makes the next one legible.

    compiler

    936edgcpp/compiler · C

    This is the open-source EDG C/C++ compiler front end project: a parser and semantic analyzer for C and C++ that is famous for matching Clang, GCC, and MSVC's parsing behavior (including their quirks) so vendors can embed it in their own tools.
