+After several years of work, the Tree Borrows paper has finally been presented recently at PLDI 2025 in Seoul.
+Tree Borrows has not changed much compared to what has previously been mentioned in this blog and on [Neven's wbesite](https://perso.crans.org/vanille/treebor/).
+We used all that extra time for *formal proofs* that Tree Borrows indeed allows at least some of the optimizations that we hope to gain from it,
+and to carry out an extensive evaluation of Tree Borrows on the 30 000 most-downloaded crates on crates.io.
+This overall package of implementation, proof, and evaluation impressed the PLDI program committee enough that we got a *distinguished paper award*. :-)
+Thanks a lot to Neven and Johannes for all the hard work and congratulations on an amazing paper!
