Those interested in the future of coding may also be interested in the past... Just wanted to drop a note about the upcoming HOPL IV conference (history of programming languages), chaired by Guy Steele and Richard Gabriel in London, June 14-16, 2020. This is the 4th edition of a series started in 1978 and run every 10-15 years so should be a special event. I am not involved and have no stake, just spreading the word. https://hopl4.sigplan.org (prior: http://research.ihost.com/hopl/HOPL.html)

I pitched them a while ago on a talk about a new computer language db we have...but apparently the paper deadline had past months before...for a conference in 2020! which is coincidentally why i love HOPL---long term thinking....i'll have to wait til HOPL V

yes, the papers are long and undergo a lot of editing
