2 title: Interview for People of Programming Languages
6 [POPL 2018](https://popl18.sigplan.org/home), the conference where I will present our [RustBelt paper]({% post_url 2017-07-08-rustbelt %}), is doing a series of interviews with senior and junior people from the community: [People of Programming Languages](https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~popl-interviews/).
