I'm at Seneca but I also asked UoT students and for whatever reason most students are going into web so that's the assumption or mobile. Which is fun considering that's been pushed into the Co-op program. I'm not complaining it's also pretty easy to tell from the electives as well i.e. there is only one Linux System Programming course. Even if I look at Waterloo there are courses in this but off the top of my head, only a handful at least at the undergraduate level. > > | if anyone knows > | of people who actually work in compiler design > > Compiler design: not a big field.

I will probably try and go, have family in Markham. As for compilers I was talking gcc/clang work not older tech i.e. optimizations or other things related.
