Language evolution artefacts may include new compilers and interpreters or new language standards. Evolving programming languages is however challenging at various levels. Firstly, the impact on developers can be negative. For example, if two language versions are incompatible (e.g., Python 2 and 3) developers must choose to either co-evolve their codebase (which may be costly) or reject the new language version (which may have support implications). Secondly, evaluating a proposed language change is difficult; language designers often lack the infrastructure to assess the change. This may lead to older features remaining in future language versions to maintain backward compatibility, increasing the language's complexity (e.g., FORTRAN 77 to Fortran 90). Thirdly, new language features may interact badly with existing features, leading to unforeseen bugs and ambiguities (e.g., the addition of Java generics). This workshop brings together researchers and developers to tackle the important challenges faced by programming language evolution, to share new ideas and insights, and to advance programming language design. Topics include (but are not limited to): * Programming language and software co-evolution * Empirical studies and evidence-driven evolution * Language-version integration and interoperation * Historical retrospectives and experience reports * Tools and IDE support for source-code mining and refactoring/rejuvenation * Gradual feature introductions (e.g., optional type systems) We are accepting two kinds of submission: * Full papers (maximum 8 pages, ACM SIGPLAN 2 column, 9pt) * Talk abstracts (may include an extended abstract, upto 3 pages in ACM SIGPLAN format).

Programmi= ng languages tend to evolve in response to user needs,
hardware advances= , and research developments. Language evolution
artefacts may include ne= w compilers and interpreters or new language
standards. Evolving program= ming languages is however challenging at
various levels. Firstly, the im= pact on developers can be negative. For
example, if two language version= s are incompatible (e.g., Python 2 and
3) developers must choose to eith= er co-evolve their codebase (which
may be costly) or reject the new lang= uage version (which may have
support implications). Secondly, evaluating= a proposed language change
is difficult; language designers often lack = the infrastructure to
assess the change. This may lead to older features= remaining in future
language versions to maintain backward compatibilit= y, increasing the
language's complexity (e.g., FORTRAN 77 to Fortran= 90). Thirdly, new
language features may interact badly with existing fe= atures, leading
to unforeseen bugs and ambiguities (e.g., the addition o= f Java
generics).

This workshop brings together researchers and = developers to
tackle the important challenges faced by programming langu= age evolution,
to share new ideas and insights, and to advance
progra= mming language design.

Topics include (but are not limited to):
=C2=A0 * Programming language and software co-evolution
=C2=A0 * Em= pirical studies and evidence-driven evolution
=C2=A0 * Language-version = integration and interoperation
=C2=A0 * Historical retrospectives and ex= perience reports
=C2=A0 * Tools and IDE support for source-code mining a= nd refactoring/rejuvenation
=C2=A0 * Gradual feature introductions (e.g.= , optional type systems)

We are accepting two kinds of submission:
=C2=A0* Full papers (maximum 8 pages, ACM SIGPLAN 2 column, 9pt)
= =C2=A0* Talk abstracts (may include an extended abstract, upto 3 pages in A= CM SIGPLAN format).
