+title: Interview for People of Programming Languages

+
+[POPL 2018](https://popl18.sigplan.org/home), the conference where I will present our [RustBelt paper]({{ site.baseurl }}{% 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/).
+They also asked me if I wanted to be part of this, and of course I accepted.
+This was the first time I gave an interview like that, so needless to say, I was super excited!
+I got the opportunity to talk about how I came to do research in PL, what my research is about, and ramble a bit about why I think Coq is great.
+If you want to read more, [check out my interview](https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~popl-interviews/jung.html).
+Be sure to also [have a look at the other interviews](https://www.cs.cmu.edu/~popl-interviews/).
+
+Thanks a lot to Jean Yang, the Publicity Chair for POPL 2018, for making this a very pleasant experience.
+(Though, as you can see, I had to send them a picture, which was certainly the least pleasant part of this. ;)
+
+PS: It seems I have consistent bad luck with my POPL talk slots, because my talk
+is [again](http://popl.mpi-sws.org/2015/program.html) in the very last session
+of the conference.  This time, in fact, it's the
+[very last talk](https://popl18.sigplan.org/program/program-POPL-2018?date=Fri%2012%20Jan%202018)
+of the main track.  Maybe some people read this interview and consider staying
+anyway :D
