Matt Godbolt (@mattgodbolt) spoke with us about settling arguments with Compiler Explorer.

March Micro Madness is here!

Compiler Explorer comes in different flavors:

• https://rust.godbolt.org/
• https://d.godbolt.org/
• https://go.godbolt.org/
• https://gcc.godbolt.org/

You can see the beta version by putting a beta on the end:  https://gcc.godbolt.org/beta/

This a fully open source project. You can read the code and/or run your own version:

• https://github.com/mattgodbolt/compiler-explorer
• https://github.com/mattgodbolt/compiler-explorer-image

Matt works at DRW working on low latency software. Note that DRW is hiring for software engineers. You can read about the evolution of Compiler Explorer on their blog.
