New Languages & Compilers

with 11 comments

Several months ago, I posted about my team looking for language and compiler experts.

It is not very often that you get to be part of a team that is developing a programming language that aspires to be used by every developer on the Microsoft platform.

In addition, it is not very often that you can be part of a team that aspires to radically change the dynamics of building a new language, to the extent that a developer can write their own model-driven language in a straightforward way while getting all the language services (Intellisense, colorization, etc.) for “free”.

I am lucky enough to be on such a team – and if you are interested you could be as well.

We are hiring engineers to work on a language that will directly drive our model-driven platform:

Principal Development Lead
Senior Development Lead
Principal SDEs
SDEs

We are also hiring engineers to work on a “meta-language” and framework to build the above, enable “Emacs.Net” and expand the languages used to drive our model-driven platform:

SDE
Senior SDE
Senior SDE

If the first set of jobs look interesting, please email the development manager for the model-driven language team: Elliot Waingold.

If the second set of jobs look interesting, please email the engineering lead for the compiler framework: Giovanni Della-Libera.

  10. I’ve not heard any about this project in months. How long does it take to develop an extensible, customizable text editor based off TECO and .NET?
