Dear all,
Please consider providing a talk to the following workshop which will now be held online. Sorry for cross-posting.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Call for Speakers Workshop on Programming Research in Mainstream Languages (PRiML) Saarbrücken, Germany, Mon July 6th, 2020 https://agozillon.github.io/PRiML
PRiML 2020 will be held online. Registration is free.
# About PRiML
The First Workshop on Programming Research in Mainstream Languages is co-located with the Thirty-Fifth Annual ACM/IEEE Symposium on Logic in Computer Science (LICS 2020) & the 47th International Colloquium on Automata, Languages and Programming (ICALP 2020) in Saarbrücken, Germany, in July, 2020.
The PRiML workshop will consist of invited talks by leading experts and shorter contributed talks selected by the Program Committee.
Programming language (PL) research in mainstream languages, entails challenges beyond those encountered within the isolation of the laboratory. Mainstream PLs, are supported by their many users, who expect stability, but so too innovation – whether within the language itself, or its standard libraries. A mainstream PL needs to support the initial concept critique, subsequent implementations, political calculations, and, ultimate bureaucracy involved in the execution of full support for novel features – often across multiple implementations. All that debate is due to real concerns about feature interaction.
Performing PL research within a mainstream language can bring a hitherto proven research concept from the laboratory to a wider audience. Moreover, of course, the lack of isolation presents fresh challenges as new concepts must fund their own idiomatic expressions over the debate on feature interaction. One finds such expressions either within an existing PL or as a new PL with the funding or wherewithal to approach a mainstream audience.
On the other hand, the prototype PL crafted for experimenting with a research idea might have features remote from existing mainstream PLs. Choosing a mainstream PL to host the same research entails a fresh examination of the host’s features for their suitability for the research. The implication might be a very different feature set from the host or simulation to those of the prototype in the mainstream PL. Either way, the added benefit is solving the same research problem using a fresh set of features.
# Preparation of submissions
We are looking for talks about PL research within mainstream PLs. Prospective speakers should consider topics which:
1) briefly report on PL research performed with a mainstream PL; and 2) clearly outline the added value of the chosen PL(s) for the reported research.
We invite contributions from innovators working with classic TIOBE programming language mainstays such as Java, C, C++, Python and C#. But so too we welcome maturing Stack Overflow darlings such as Rust, Swift, Go and beyond.
Talk titles along with abstracts should be submitted by email to the program chairs. Contact details are available on the [workshop website](https://agozillon.github.io/PRiML).
# Important Dates
Proposal submission deadline: Friday June 5th Author notification: by Friday June 12th Workshop: Monday July 6th
