This article maps out the landscape of programming abstractions for working with LLMs. Prior to this, there wasn't any thorough attempt that we know of to make sense of and organize all of these different approaches and philosophies fo

What continent is "Davis 338B" on? Maybe it'd be good to include a bit more location info if this is an event that's being announced?

I found very little meat in that article... Right when I had been excited about points that seemed like they were about to be made, the article unfurled into a biography and promotion of Graeber's next book :/

PS, you also changed the title. Just saying. (The second revision of the original title still has nothing to do with programming languages, btw... It's a programming languages conference.)

Key words: (1) programming language (2) academia (CS/PL) (3) industry The title keeps changing, but these 3 keywords aren't kept. The words chosen mean something totally different on each revision. Just wondering – why couldn&#x2

The original title (which is most accurate) is: Curry On: Mainstream PL and academic PL should talk more often This also works (and illustrates that it's an event): Curry On: Mainstream PL and academic PL should talk more often. Here i

Someone changed the title of the post to something that doesn't describe the event at all. It's about bringing industry and academia together.
