Time: Wednesday 3:30pm - 5:00pm
Location: Hybrid: Gates 310 and Zoom (requires Cornell NetID)
Organizers: Dexter Kozen and Adrian Sampson
Czar: Pedro Amorim and Jialu Bao


The Programming Languages Discussion Group meets weekly to discuss 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. The seminar is open to everybody interested in languages and compilers. First-year and second-year students are especially encouraged to participate.

Talks will be advertised on the pldg-l@cornell.edu list. To join, send a message to pldg-l-request@cornell.edu with the subject “join” and a blank body.

PLDG will meet in person when possible, but meetings will still be broadcast over Zoom. Please discuss with the czars if you plan to present virtually.
