Maybe there’s just not so many people around who can help with
compilers? I’m an application developer and can surely also help with
the library, but hacking on the compiler is something I’ve never done
(and don’t know if I would be any good at it)
I will surely like to do it, given my background on compiler design,
however real life keeps jumping in the way. So I tend just to do
advocacy. :)
Compiler development is not as hard as people think, it just plain data
structures manipulations.
If you skim through a book like the one from Niklaus Wirth about
compiler development[1], you get the basics pretty quickly.
