Turned out to be (IMO) a significant paper that changed how the PL community had to approach &quot;scripting&quot; languages. Nobody other than a ranker would care that it was at ECOOP: it instead had something much more significant, ie, impact.</p>

I just worry that various swirling forces (eg, journalization of OOPSLA) will make it hard for it to survive as a quality venue. But then, it&#39;s been written off for decades and it&#39;s still here. (-:</p>

If you needed someone to explain all these issues to you, that would be one thing. If you can explain them yourself, then… SMDH.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@gamingonlinux" class="u-url mention">@<span>gamingonlinux</span></a></span> This is such crap, seem to be happening to stacks of smaller forums over the last few days. 😞 <br />Completely understandable call.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@gamingonlinux" class="u-url mention">@<span>gamingonlinux</span></a></span> That UK law seems concerning. Does anyone have an explanation for what it is in that law that makes people close forums?</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@gamingonlinux" class="u-url mention">@<span>gamingonlinux</span></a></span> Please include some exurb about the reason into the mastodon that will make it easier to share as it will reach more users what this act will do.<br />The act does sound very concerning to say the least.</p>
