People of PL is a series of interviews with PL researchers. In today’s post, John Wickerson chats with Derek Dreyer, who is Faculty at the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems (MPI-SWS), and Honorarprofessor of Computer Science, Saarland University.
The authors of POPL’s 2020 most influential paper reflect on the journey that produced their award winning research on program synthesis, and the impact the work has had on them, the research community, and society at large, ever since.
ICFP 2020 will be virtual, combining a mirrored technical program—all technical talks will appear twice, 12 hours apart—with a synchronous set of keynote talks and social events. This post says more about it. Be sure to register by August 8!
