What it reported doing in 2024

The International Conference on the Art, Science, and Engineering of Programmingor Programming for shortis a new conference focused on programming topics including the experience of programming. Programming seeks for papers that advance knowledge of programming on any relevant topic, including programming practice and experience.In 2024, the conference was held in Lund, Sweden.TThe 8th MoreVMs workshop aims to bring together industrial and academic programmers to discuss the design, implementation, and usage of modern languages and runtimes.This includes aspects such as reuse of language runtimes, modular implementation, language design, compilation strategies, as well as the interaction of modern languages and runtimes with operating systems and modern hardware architectures.By bringing together both researchers and practitioners, the workshop aims to enable a diverse discussion on how languages and runtimes are currently being utilized, and where they need to improve further. The descriptions of the workshops are presented below.MoreVMs welcomes early-stage work, emerging ideas, insightful discussions of existing systems, as well as extended abstracts for publication in the ACM DL.Relevant topics include, but are definitely not limited to, the following: Extensible VM design (compiler- or interpreter-based VMs)Reusable components (e.g. interpreters, garbage collectors, )Static and dynamic compilation techniquesTechniques for targeting high-level languages such as JavaScriptInteroperability between languagesTooling support (e.g. debugging, profiling, etc.)Programming language development environmentsInteraction of virtual machines, operating systems, and computer architectureCase studies of existing language implementation approachesLanguage implementation challenges and trade-offsSurveys and experience reports to understand usage in the wildSurvey and analysis of existing VMs and compilersIdeas for more predictable performanceIdeas for how VMs could take advantage of new hardware featuresIdeas for how we should build languages in the futureWelcome to the Special Late Breaking Track on Programming with AIAbstractThe narrative of AI changing everything seems inescapable at the moment, with [ironically] programming being one of the first disciplines caught up in the storm. In order to understand the effects of a moment like this, its helpful to step away from the rhetoric of exceptionalism and look back at previous examples of such changes - 40 years ago Bainbridge [1] characterised some ironies of automation, ways in which automation wasnt playing out as it was supposed to. Some of these ironies seem very present today in the supposed unprecedented concern of modern AI - such as the responsibility for users to be ever vigilant of mistakes, or designers building tools that only solve the easy problems and leaving all the complicated tasks to the user. We propose to hold a special track at where late breaking content about how it will be to program with (or against) AI assistance (hindrances) can be understood.In case of need, here are some topics that might help to get you started: creating programs with AIexperience of programming with AIexploratory programming with AIlive programming with AIprogram understanding with AIpsychology of programming with AIuser studies on programming with AItheories about all thatCorrectness, performance, standard tools, foundations, and text-as-program are important traditional research areas, but the focus of this special track is on programming with AI. We welcome a wide spectrum of contributions on programming with AI.Welcome to the 10th Edition of the Programming Experience WorkshopIf you intend to participate in the PX/24 workshop, please note that the workshop will allow for structured feedback based on the Writers Workshop format. For that, please download and read all submissions in advance, if possible.Remote participation will be ensured.AbstractSome programming feels fun, other program
