Walter, Mike, and I are happy to announce that our paper
submission "Origins of the D Programming Language" has been
accepted at the HOPL IV (History of Programming Languages)
conference.

Getting a HOPL paper in is quite difficult, and an important
milestone for the D language. We'd like to thank the D
community which was instrumental in putting the D language on
the map.
The HOPL IV conference will take place in London right before
DConf. With regard to travel, right now Covid-19 fears are on
everybody's mind; however, we are hopeful that between now and
then the situation will improve.
Congrats! Indeed a meaningful accomplishment.
