Guillaume Martres: An Interactive Compiler

Welcome to tooling talks, where every month I sit down with someone working in tooling, learn how they got there, and gain some insight into the work they do. This month I had the privilege to sit down with Guillaume Martres, one of the core contributors on the Dotty team from EPFL and chat all about the Scala 3 compiler and what it means to have interactivity in mind when working on a compiler in regards to tooling. We talked about the importance of upstreaming changes, de-duplicating efforts, and also a bit about what the future of tooling
could look like in Scala thanks to things like TASTy. It was a pleasure chatting with Guillaume, so I hope you enjoy the show.
