Pragmatics of typed intermediate languages

One trend in the compilation is to use typed intermediate languages. Haskell's ghc with its core intermediate language, a variant of System F-omega, is an examp

Why are modules explicitly named in files?

From the D language reference: Modules have a one-to-one correspondence with source files. The module name is the file name with the path and extension stri

Is C open source?

Does C (or any other low-level language, for that matter) even have source, or is the compiler the part that "does all the work", including parsing? If so, coul
