It's a bummer compilers out of vogue now. For example, lackluster compiler tech is the reason GPU computing is still stuck in rare niches.

I mean "interesting" in the sense that those were areas of active research and development. I think the equivalent today would be things like control software for self-driving cars and drones, the software that does StreetView, etc.
