With a somewhat long list of co-authors, the "Trellis paper" [3] (not to be confused with "Tetris" the game) is among the most exciting SLE papers I've come across thus far. Published this year and surprisingly spearheaded by a PhD student; Lars Hummelgrenβ¦
It is early 2025 and we continue our review of ACM SLE papers in a streak that kicked off in 2024. Today I came across the first SLE paper specifically about Python, the programming language we all love and one of the most popular today. Paper is written by Aamir Farooq and a very credentialed SLE authority, [Assoc.] Prof. Vadim Zaytsev.

---[About Paper]:
The paper is modest in size, but treats of the important matter of idioms and traditions in the Python programming language[2]. It builds upon and furthers the only earlier work on the subject for Python by Alexandru et al (2018), though it also reviews general coding traditions as covered in the Software Engineering literature since 1987[2]. It highlights why code is deemed to be idiomatic and/or pythonic, as well as why this is important. It is a great resource for those who wish to [re]write better Python codebases especially since Python 3.

First, to mark the great progress we've attained with our original research concerning SLE and the TEA programming language made in Uganda, here's an interesting take on JWL's ideas of so-called "Computational Mysticism". In this example we see how the powerful TEA language (that can both be understood by humans as well as computers/machines) can be used to express a spiritual concept; in this example, a Prayer of Gratitude written as a computer program.

In other research updates, we've recently established yet another interesting application of TEA (and general Text Processing) useful in a real life/practical scenario: typesetting or rather, publication processing.
So, one very useful example is the case of especially unprofessional or inexperienced Internet-based writers of literature (poetry, prose, essays, blogs and such) that need to get their works well prepared for proper formal publication (say, as final, polished PDFs or ePUBs).
So, using a good and generic Text Processing program, we have found that such unformatted or plain text writings can be automatically processed using a text transformation program (we've explored with TEA and Python), and these can then help re-write the original manuscript into a ready-to-publish format; LaTeX or HTML from which final publication packages can then be automatically generated.
Examples of such transformation programs shall follow in a future update.

This won't be the first ACM keynote that I've reviewed, however, it's arguably the shortest of them thus far. Presented at the SLE 2022 conference in Auckland, New Zealand, this keynote treats of the important matter of embedded DSLs mostly. For today, we'll be content with the elaborate author bio already presented in the paper itself.
