Interview and Q&A: Reluctantly a Verb

In the last eight years, Compiler Explorer has gone from an obscure gcc-only compiler website to a verb in its own right supporting hundreds of compilers, libraries, and tools. In this interview, we'll discuss how Compiler Explorer started, how it has been used over the years, and talk about some of the features and tools it has to offer. Along the way, we'll discuss some clever optimizations that modern compilers can do, and how to use the site to best shine a light on them.
