Chair's Welcome and Most Notable Paper Award
summary
Selection highlights a single simple claim: AST-based interpreters plus rewriting at runtime capture actual dynamic-language execution and enable aggressive optimizations. That idea spawns a practical stack — Truffle and the GraalVM — and multiple language runtimes (Ruby, Python, R, an LLVM interpreter) running on the JVM. The award revisits papers from ten years ago and credits a small, clear insight that over a decade yields a full ecosystem and production-quality performance.
