+* Episode 8 - MLIR Basics
+** Serene Changes
+- Introducing a SourceManager
+- Reader changes
+- *serenec* cli interface in changing
+
+** Disclaimer
+*I'm not an expert in MLIR*
+
+** Why?
+- A bit of history
+- LLVM IR is to low level
+- We need an IR to implement high level concepts and flows
+  *MLIR* is a framework to build a compiler with your own IR. kinda :P
+
+- Reusability
+- ...
+** Language
+*** Overview
+- SSA Based (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Static_single_assignment_form)
+- Typed
+- Context free(for lack of better words)
+
+*** Dialects
+- A collection of operations
+- Custom types
+- Meta data
+- We can use a mixture of different dialects
+**** builtin dialects:
+- std
+- llvm
+- math
+- async
+- ...
+
+*** Opetations
+- Higher level of abstraction
+- Not instructions
+- SSA forms
+- Tablegen backend
+- Verifiers and printers
+*** Attributes
+*** Blocks & Regions
+*** Types
+- Extesible
+** Pass Infrastructure
+Analysis and transformation infrastructure
+
+- We will implement most of our semantic analysis logic and type checker as passes
+
+** Pattern Rewriting
+- Tablegen backed
+** Operation Definition Specification
+** Examples
+*Not*: You need =mlir-mode= and =llvm-mode= available to you for the code highlighting of
+the following code blocks. Both of those are distributed with the LLVM.

+*** General syntax

+*** Blocks and Regions

+    br ^bb3(%a: i64)    // Branch passes %a as the argument
+
+  ^bb2:
+    %b = addi %a, %a : i64
+    br ^bb3(%b: i64)    // Branch passes %b as the argument
+
+  // ^bb3 receives an argument, named %c, from predecessors
+  // and passes it on to bb4 along with %a. %a is referenced
+  // directly from its defining operation and is not passed through
+  // an argument of ^bb3.
+  ^bb3(%c: i64):
+    //br ^bb4(%c, %a : i64, i64)
+    "serene.ifop"(%c) ({ // if %a is in-scope in the containing region...
