I'm not an academic, but here's my $0.02. I'm responsible for software
hires at our company. When we're considering anyone with a computer
science degree, he/she is very unlikely to be hired if they have not
taken either a compiler or an operating systems course with a project
requirement (we prefer compiler to OS).
A compiler course with a project can have several benefits:
- Students start to understand CPU architecture and assembler.
- They become sensitized to the performance of HLL constructs.
- They have to actually write a smallish program.
- They develop the skills to write little languages.
