Linux Inlaws

In this episode, our two heroes dive into the dark and mysterious world of compilers and other shenanigans that take care of translating plain English text readable and understandable by world and dog into something that a computer can execute (a CPU most of the times, to be more precise). If you ever wondered what abstract syntax trees are, how parsers work and what can be done to make your programs run faster or cannot get to sleep in general, this episode is for you!
