The Languages and Compilers Seminar meets weekly to discuss recent and interesting papers in the area of programming languages and compilers. The goal is to encourage interactions and discussions between students and faculty with interests in this area. This Spring we will discuss papers from the recent OOPSLA, POPL, and other programming languages conferences. The seminar is open to all students interested in languages and compilers; and first-year students are especially encouraged to participate. Participating students should register for the 1-credit course CS719.
