Erik Meijer has posted an announcement for Lang .NET 2006, a Microsoft-sponsored language conference, over on Lambda the Ultimate that I thought I would point out to any readers who might be interested. A bit of the announcement:

Lang .NET 2006 is a forum for discussion of programming languages, managed execution environments, compilers, multi-language libraries, and integrated development environments. It provides an excellent opportunity for programming language implementers and researchers from both industry and academia to meet and share their knowledge, experience, and suggestions for future research and development in the area of programming languages.

Lang.NET 2006 will be held from August 1-3 at Microsoft, and Erik has assured me that he is going to press me in to service as a speaker, so be warned… Actually, we’ve got more than a few interesting non-LINQ things in the pipeline that maybe we’ll be able to talk more about by then. (Here’s hoping.) So hope to see you all there!
