Chris Lattner gets first SIGPLAN award for LLVM work

The Association for Computing Machinery's Special Interest Group on Programming Languages has announced that LLVM creator Chris Lattner has won its first "Programming Languages Software Award." "Lattner and Vikram Adve initially developed LLVM as a novel research infrastructure when Lattner was a member of Adve's research group at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC). Lattner went on to extend it into a powerful, widely adopted commercial-quality product. LLVM was released as an open source infrastructure in October 2003, and has since enjoyed popular adoption in the academic, commercial and open source worlds."
