LWN regularly gratifies us with deep discussions from within the Python community (most recently on the subject of typing).

Having a sense of how PL communities argue within themselves, what kind of direction and arguments they have, etc, would certainly be appreciated.

You wrote once on OCaml it appears, but now with OCaml having landed a post-GIL situation (with the 5.x series), it could be worthwhile to know what people are discussing (effects, etc.).

Etc...

I'm a "programming languages" (PL) person myself, have contributed a LWN article once in the past ( https://lwn.net/Articles/684128/ ), and know people who might be interested in contributing as well. Can we discuss what sort of PL-related content people would like to see here, besides the uncommon but usual "new release of language X" format?

Welcome Daroc - great to have you contributing to LWN! Would love to see the enhancements that you bring, perhaps some more content on OSS AI would make for an interesting addition. Thanks!

Daroc, good luck with your new role. Journalism is tricky and everyone else knows best!

You do you and we'll try to keep up.

I look forward to seeing some increased variety in the content perhaps. The phrase "programming language theory and implementation" makes me hopeful as this interests me too, particularly for Rust but also other languages like Haskell, Erlang and C++.

Congratulations, and welcome! It is great that LWN is going well enough to take on additional help, and even better that you finally found someone. Looking forward to even more quality content :-)
