We are a small community of active students and alumni from FIT ČVUT, FEL ČVUT and MFF UK that meets monthly (or as time allows) for peer presentations, invited talks, and discussions on topics related to programming languages. Discussed topics span from interesting new programming languages and concepts, compiler and runtime implementations, to PLT and research topics. Any interesting topic is welcome.
The effort originally started on 16th November 2022 as a lang-talk meetup. That was the date of our first meetup and the streak lasted for 16 meetups.
After a delay, the meetups continued on 12th March as a Student PL Meetup to recognize that the community has outgrown a single faculty. Moreover, the community has joined forces with the Prague Programming Languages and Systems Research Network to help each other connect people with shared interests and deepen (or widen) each other knowledge.
