The Programming Languages Reading Group

University of Wisconsin, Madison


Welcome to the home page for the Programming Languages Reading Group at the University of Wisconsin. We are a group of students, mostly those interested in programming languages and compilers, who meet to discuss, pillory, and exalt papers that are (at least loosely) related to our field of study. We congregate at 2:30 p.m. on Mondays in room 3331.
