Bingo & alignment
Towards a practical, lightweight, verified theory of your paper titles. Two cards, every number from PLDB.
Title bingo
A 5×5 card of PL title clichés: “Towards…”, “…for Free”, “Considered Harmful”, the load-bearing colon. Each square is stamped with your first title that earns it.
Try Michael D. Ernst, Peter Thiemann, Eelco Visser, or a whole programme: OOPSLA 2020, PLDI 2024, POPL 2020
PL alignment chart
Lawful or Chaotic, Theorist, Hacker or Engineer: placed on a D&D grid by your venue mix, co-author loyalty, colon habit and venue fidelity, as a percentile among everyone with 5+ papers.
Try Simon Peyton Jones, Andreas Zeller, Philip Wadler vs Emery D. Berger, or a group: the Iris crowd
All counts are within PLDB (33,580 papers). Matching is whole-word and case-blind; nobody is judged on papers PLDB doesn't index.
