The University of Pennsylvania

Last week I accepted the University of Pennsylvania's offer to study for a PhD (in PL). A few cool people there:

I'm really excited!

I think you're also supposed to notify your friends of these kinds of big decisions before they find out a week later by being subscribed to your blog's rss feed ;) Congratulations!

Congratulations,

I was recently accepted to study for my masters as well. On the same note, though, pardon me for being an idiot, but what does PL stand for?

Michael Greenberg (mike@weaselhat.com)

PL is "programming languages", which is itself a shorthand for programming language theory. Pierce, Weirich, and Zdancewic all do it; Val Tannen used to.

I'm not sure where a good place to start reading about it is...maybe just take the course in the Fall?
