The Languages and Compilers Seminar meets weekly to discuss recent papers in the area of programming languages, program analysis, and compilers. The goal is to encourage interactions and discussions between students, researchers, and faculty with interests in this area. This semester we will discuss papers from the recent PLDI, OOPSLA, and other programming languages conferences. The seminar is open to everybody interested in languages and compilers. First-year and second-year students are especially encouraged to participate. Participating students should register for the 1-credit course CS719.
