Last day of #prog25
In the morning, feel free to join the Effekt tutorial and learn about using effect systems in programming.
In the afternoon, we will take a look around our host city in the Prague walking tour. Participants will visit Prague Castle.
Please note that lunch is NOT provided by the conference today.
📣 Follow us for updates on #prog26: It was just announced that the next ‹Programming› will be held in Munich, Germany.
The exact dates are not finalized yet, but it will move back to its original timeslot of being held around March.
Congratulations to all award winners from yesterday's #prog25 award ceremony 🎉
Today, we will have the second round of research paper presentations as well as the second round of the ACM Student Research Competition. We will announce the #SRC winners at today's conference closing 🏆
We are starting the day with a keynote by Thomas Wuerthinger on "What We Tried and Didn't Work for GraalVM".
Let's start day 2 of #prog25 with some impressions of day 1! We kicked off the conference with the #MoreVMs, #QP, and #PX workshops.
The welcome reception took place at Prague's old townhall, giving participants a unique look behind the scenes of its famous astronomical clock.
Today, no events will be streamed. The keynotes and research paper talks of the next two days will be streamed.
Only a few hours left until #prog25!
📽 Reminder that if you can't join us in Prague, you can watch the ‹Programming› stream for free. Today's streamed event is the #MoreVMs #workshop

The Student Volunteer program is a chance for students to participate in the conference whilst assisting us in preparing and running the events. In return, volunteers are granted free registration. We especially encourage students who lack alternative funding for their attendance to apply. As a ‹Programming› 2025 Student Volunteer, you will interact closely with researchers, academics, and practitioners from various disciplines and meet other students from around the world. You will also be able to attend almost all the talks. Tasks performed by student volunteers include but are not lim ...
The VIMPL #workshop is once more co-located with #prog25!
This workshop provides a forum for researchers and practitioners to discuss the (re)emergence of value independence as a theme in the user model of programming languages, its use in software applications, its use in compilers and interpreters for optimization, and the challenges related to its interaction with other modern programming language features.
Submission deadline: April 11, 2025
The tension between unconstrained mutation and algebraic semantic reasoning has been well known at least since Backus’ 1977 Turing Award paper introducing FP. After decades of bifurcation into communities that either ignored the problem, or addressed it by insisting on strict immutability, the PL field has recently begun to explore more nuanced approaches that emphasize the independence of mutable values. Value independence upholds the ability to reason locally about semantics, from the variables mentioned alone. This ability is crucial both for human understanding of software developed a ...
The program of #prog25 now features two amazing keynotes!
Molly Wright Steenson, who is well versed in #design and #architecture as well as #AI technology, will give a talk on "Architecture and Generativity".
Thomas Wuerthinger from Oracle Labs will share some of his experience as #GraalVM project lead in his talk: "What We Tried and Didn't Work for GraalVM".

The International Conference on the Art, Science, and Engineering of Programming—or ‹Programming› for short— focuses 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. Thinking of attending? Check out the list of papers that will be presented at the conference and consider submitting a paper to one of the accepted workshops! Are you a student? Submit your work to the ACM Student Research Competition! We will also be looking for student vol ...
