I thought this was such a great episode that I went to search for more work by Dr Deters and sadly found that he past away earlier this year.
I found this episode in 2019 by searching «GCC internals», then went to Morgan Deters’s personal website and found that «The Department of Computer Science regrets to inform you that Morgan Deters passed away on Saturday, January 17, 2015.». So sad!
