Comp.compilers is a moderated usenet news group addressing the topics of compilers in particular and programming language design and implementation in general. It started in 1986 as a moderated mailing list, but interest quickly grew to the point where it was promoted to a news group. Recent topics have included optimization techniques, language design issues, announcements of new compiler tools, and book reviews.
Messages come from a wide variety of people ranging from undergraduate students to well-known experts in industry and academia. Authors live all over the world -- there are regular messages from the U.S, Canada, Europe, Australia, and Japan, with occasional ones from as far away as Malaysia. The estimated total readership is over 100,000, which makes it by far the most widely read medium on the topic in the world. Messages may be submitted via the post function any usenet news program, or by e-mail to compilers@iecc·com.

Compiler job messages
Help wanted and Position Available messages are collected each week and posted in a digest every Sunday. Since comp.compilers readers live all over the world, messages should include some hint about the location of the job, whether the employer will consider relocating people who live somewhere else, or consider applicants who are not residents of their country. See recent job digests. Job messages may be submitted the same way as any other message, by mail to compilers@iecc·com.
In blog-land 
Comp.compilers is now available as an RSS feed, indexing the articles archived here. The RSS feed is updated in real time and shows the most recent articles posted, skipping over the boilerplate articles posted on the first of each month.
The link to the RSS feed is http://compilers.iecc.com/comparch/rss. By default it shows five articles, but you can tell it to show up to 100 articles by adding /n=NN to the end of the URL, where NN is the number of articles you want to see.
