We present selected topics that focus on current issues in the design or implementation of programming languages from point of view of compiler construction. We consider these topics as providers for building blocks for programming languages, thus this lecture is not intended as an introduction to programming these features, instead on how to adapt compilers and runtime systems in order to support these features.
