Greg Michaelson's talk at #prog21 started with interesting contemplations of where programming paradigms came from and how to teach them, and quickly deteriorated to the author bashing Python and Haskell as being "horrible" and "unrealistic". Puzzling.

To be fair to the reviewer, this does not guarantee that one understands the work one published before :)

got an ICML review insisting we do not understand the work of x et al. when we are, in fact, x et al. #ICML2021

Today is the start of @programmingconf, and even more importantly, the day of #CoCoDo! I didn't travel anywhere and didn't get to meet anyone in person, but at least I received a conference-style breakfast:

Things you learn when you write tools supporting your systematic literature review: you cannot spell "interlanguage" without "Erlang"!

I always say "lemons" in my head instead of "lemmas" to keep myself entertained

Got myself involved in another systematic literature review. Reading papers from 1980s and 1990s is such an entertaining experience! Some of them are really like "we took this existing method and applied it to one C program", and others are easily worth 10 modern publons.

And now an explicit moment of our unwavering appreciation for JSS reviewers, without which it would simply be impossible to maintain the high standards of quality. We like them all, but the best of the best in 2020 are: medium.com/jss-editors-selec…

Important result for software language engineering:
Understanding computer code seems to be its own thing. It’s not the same as language, and it’s not the same as maths and logic.

Witnessed several discussions recently (both online and irl) about "how can someone teach X without being taught X", I realised that most major things I've been teaching — software evolution, software construction, software modelling, etc — I've never had as courses as a student.
