Bio

Neal has been working in compilers since 1981. He completed his Ph.D. from the University of Rochester in 1990. His main interests are programming language design and implementation, and support for integrated programming environments.

He is currently in transition between by previous job at Sun Microsystems and my new job at Google.

Until recently he was developing and supporting Sun Microsystems' Java compiler and language tools (javac, javadoc, javah, javap). If you want to take a look at his baby, download the prototype implementation of JSR14, Adding Generics to the Java Programming Language. It includes all of the language features in JDK 5 (a.k.a. J2SE 1.5, Tiger).

Next to Java, Neal plays in the Foresight Exchange, a long term game of predicting the future.
