   Hi Tom,   
      
   In my view, the most important achievement in compiler technologies is   
   the proliferation of polyhedral optimisation and code   
   generation. Whilst they still are pretty much in research, I can't   
   help but think they are the future (at least, for affine program   
   parts).   
      
   The Compiler Design Handbook, 2nd edition, has nice overviews of this   
   and other compiler research areas.   
      
   Cheers,   
   Anton.
