My team is hiring! We develop the Verse programming language and related tech at Epic.
See thread for more details about what we work on and how you can apply. I'll also be at REBASE this week in Oakland if you want to come have a chat in person.
Back like we never left.

My team is looking to hire an engineer interested in compilers/VMs/PL. We’re knee-deep building a from-scratch VM for Verse. We also work on tons of other cool stuff, including an LLVM-forked compiler to auto transactionalize C++ code. Come work with us! https://t.co/dbqv0JZnNC

Simon Peyton Jones gave the very first talk about Verse, the new programming language we're building for the metaverse. (Warning: this talk is for programming language theorists and implementors, not new programmers. Tutorials coming in early 2023!)
Our deepest thanks to everyone who joined us in supporting humanitarian relief efforts for people affected by the war in Ukraine.
Together with the Fortnite community and @Xbox, we raised $144 million USD for @DirectRelief@UNICEF, @WFP, @Refugees and @WCKitchen.

Main surprise: Wasm targets can be faster than native code!
