The GMT offsets shown reflect the offsets at the moment of the conference.

Time Band

By setting a time band, the program will dim events that are outside this time window. This is useful for (virtual) conferences with a continuous program (with repeated sessions).
The time band will also limit the events that are included in the personal iCalendar subscription service.

Abstract

Programming language designers and implementers are taught that:

semantics are more worthwhile than syntax,
that programs exist to embody proofs, rather than to get work done, and
to value Dijkstra more than Van Wijngaarden.

Eelco Visser believed that, while there is value in the items on the left, there is at least as much value in the items on the right. This short paper explores how Eelco Visser embodied these values, and how he encouraged our work on the Grace programming language, supported that work within Spoofax, and provided a venue for discussion within the WG2.16 Programming Language Design working group.
