I attended this in 2023 and it was a fantastic crash course on many compilation/PL topics that I did not know much about. Also made life long friends!
Registration for PLISS (Programming Language Implementation Summer School) 2025 is now open! If you're interested in programming languages, this is the place to be -- great speakers and a conducive location!

Had a ball delving deeper into Swift's type inference algorithm to work on key path expressions ☺️
Swift had three Google Summer of Code projects: a native Memcached connector, improvements to SwiftParser, and enhancements when working with key paths. Congratulations to all the mentees and mentors! swift.org/blog/summer-of-cod…

When Wittgenstein said, "the limits of my language mean the limits of my world", he wasn't talking about a programming language lol
I always argued that my kids could learn hindi or a coding language. Which would be more useful even if they never coded? Which would develop their mental skills better?
