llvm dev - Jun 2010 - [LLVMdev] Congratulations: First-Time SIGPLAN Award to Apple's Chris Lattner for Developing Popular LLVM Infrastructure with Applications in Commercial, Research, Teaching, and Open Source Projects

First-Time SIGPLAN Award to Apple's Chris Lattner for Developing Popular
LLVM Infrastructure with Applications in Commercial, Research, Teaching, and
Open Source Projects

From the press release:

	June 7, 2010 – The ACM Special Interest Group on Programming Languages
(SIGPLAN)   today presents its first-ever Programming Languages Software Award
to Chris Lattner of Apple Inc. for his design and development of the Low Level
Virtual Machine (LLVM), a compiler infrastructure that has been quickly adopted
by a wide array of industry and academic organizations. Since LLVM’s release as
an open source compiler infrastructure in October 2003, companies including
Apple, Adobe, and Cray have incorporated it into their commercial products,
reflecting its simplicity, flexibility, and versatility.  Lattner joined Apple,
Inc. in 2005, and is currently the chief architect of the Apple Compiler Group. 
He is to receive the award at the 2010 Programming Language Design and
Implementation (PLDI) conference in Toronto, Canada, June 5 to 10.

My congratulations to Chris as well!  For those who don't follow the ACM
world much, SIGPLAN is the primary research organization for PL and Compilers,
and I expect this award to become one of the most prestigious awards in the
field.  It's quite a coup for Chris and for LLVM to have won it, and
moreover to win it in the first year of the award.  And it's remarkable that
it has happened less than 7 years after the first LLVM release in October 2003.

Thanks Vikram!  As all of you know, LLVM isn't a one man show though :).   I
see this as an award given to a very vibrant and exciting community, recognizing
the many contributions of *many* different people here.
