This year's DLS Most Notable Paper award goes to:

Compiling for Multi-language Task Migration
by Marc Feeley

This paper is motivated by the challenges of implementing continuations for an uncooperative environment, and worth a read!

Congratulations to the author!

Screenshot of the award with a citation that reads: Recent years have seen a resurgent interest in the use and implementation of first-class control, especially in the form of delimited continuations via effect handlers. This paper is motivated by the challenges of implementing continuations for an uncooperative environment and the opportunities for code migration that the implementation affords. The paper recaps the design of the Gambit Virtual Machine for efficient continuations, and it provides evidence for the ongoing effectiveness of the design.
