November 18, 2024 — We started PLDB 2,558 days ago (7 years!). It quickly became a collaborative project with hundreds of contributors all over the world, and I'm so excited by how it's evolved. The past year has been a big one. In addition to contributions from dozens of repeat and new contributors, and interviews with Daniel Kallin, Douglas Crockford, Steven Drucker, and Hongbo Zhang, we've done a ton of behind-the-scenes work:
I think this upcoming year will be a big one. I hope we radically improve crawlers and expand the database, publish more interesting analysis and interviews, and most importantly, launch some new community features to connect and build on the nascent community we have so far. I look forward to further leveraging LLMs while keeping our practice of having humans review all content.
Thank you everyone for your help and support, and together let's continue to build the next great programming languages!
