Today, Todd Millstein hands off the role of co-editor at PL Perspectives to Roopsha Samanta.
From Todd:
I’ve truly enjoyed my time as a co-editor of the ACM SIGPLAN blog. It’s been gratifying to learn about the wide range of fantastic research in our field and to work with contributors to share their results more broadly. The blog continues to showcase the beauty and power of the “PL perspective,” not only to tackle traditional PL problems but also to bring precision, new insights, and compelling solutions to all kinds of challenges in computing.
Thanks to Mike Hicks for inviting me to join him as a co-editor in 2020 and to Adrian Sampson for picking up right where Mike left off. It’s been a lot of fun working with both of them to make PL Perspectives happen. Welcome Roopsha—I look forward to seeing where you and Adrian take the blog next!
From Roopsha:
I am really excited to be joining Adrian in co-editing the ACM SIGPLAN blog! Many thanks to Mike for his outstanding vision, and to Todd and Adrian for seamlessly continuing the tradition.
I have always enjoyed reading this blog and learning about a truly diverse set of “PL Perspectives.” As someone who believes in the power and importance of effective scientific communication, and loves reasoning about programs, I couldn’t have asked for a better opportunity. I look forward to interacting more closely with our readers, their research, and their viewpoints on all things PL-related!
