CACM article (Feb 2009): "Compiler research: the next 50 years"

.... seems topical for comp.compilers. Here's a link (but you have to
be an ACM Digital Library member get access to the article unless you
have access to the magazine itself).

I found it interesting that first major point they make, is that
individual contributors should work less on isolated projects and more
in shared infrastructure ("foothills of the Himalayas discussion in
previous message"), and that the second point is that compiler
infrastructures aren't widely available and more effort should be
invested there.


What, the existing ones aren't good enough as a starting place?


Hmpf.
