Cliff Click is famous for writing the original hot-spot JIT 
compiler for the Java programming language. He is a compiler 
guru, and conducts a weekly compiler club that is open to anyone 
who wants to join.

I think this is a great forum for would be language designers to 
learn from compiler gurus. Of course even better if more experts 
joined the club too, sharing their knowledge!

Cliff Click's approach combines data flow framework, type 
framework, and SSA into a one unified data structure that is a 
graph intermediate representation.

Some of Cliff's papers:
