A beautiful campus, lots of cats, opportunities for PL research and for writing functional programs to create beautiful systems. Doesn't get better than this (for me at least).
We're hiring post-bacc fellows at @fp_launchpad again.

Pragyansh and Varun have made it possible to write eBFP programs in pure Python, allowing you to utilise Python's ecosystem in writing code that runs inside your kernel. They'll present on their insights and gather feedback on what other features the community would like. 4/n
