I've been trying to make this exact decision. Does anyone have experience with Framework laptops? After getting burned on unreliable System 76 hardware, I'm hesitant towards going for a newer company. For considering a modern Thinkpad, I was leaning towards the upper end P series

Tangentially related, but I think this is why Lean's typed metaprogramming system, while wonderful, is such a burden to learn. After a couple of years I still learn new functions every time I ask for help on the Zulip, and in contrast there aren't really primitives you can inline

Another award that is announced at PLDI is the SIGPLAN Programming Languages Software Award. This year, the award was received by the LEAN theorem prover (@leanprover), which has had and continues to have broad impact on mathematics, hardware and software verification, and AI!

Our paper Multi-Stage Programming with Splice Variables, co-authored with @xnningxie, has been accepted to ICFP'25 😀! We designed a language for flexible, type-safe code generation, with advanced features like code pattern matching — enabled by what we call splice variables.

I declare every CPU instruction is now a microservice (because they are really tiny, right?). All computing ceases to be possible, and the world heals.
