      So, story time from icfp. To begin, when I was quite a bit younger (14 I think?) I started learning about Haskell. I really loved some of the programming language theory that seemed to be a part of the community and I wanted to learn more.

      So, because I was a somewhat impudent 14yo, I emailed Simon Peyton-Jones. Looking back I really dont know how I hoped this would work out.. I really shouldn't have gotten a response. But, in fact, spj wrote a very nice and encouraging response, referring me to some good resources

      Which was an exceptionally nice thing to do. And it had a pretty big impact on me! I now am studying for a phd in the same field (more or less). I'd never actually met spj in person so I've never had the chance to say thanks for the kindly response..

      Except.. he was at icfp! So I actually got to go up and tell him this story. I ambushed him at the bar on Thursday and just stood there awkwardly until he said hi. His first response when I began to explain that I had emailed him ~10 years ago was "oh dear, did I not respond?"

      That would have been a much better story actually.. like a princess bride thing where I study for 10 years to get a paper at icfp to ambush spj to demand answers. He looked genuinely worried for a second too!

      After assuring him that I wasnt, in fact, on a long running quest for vengeance we talked for a bit. He was v nice and I was glad for a chance to thank him. He asked what I studied, when I said categorical semantics he asked what resources he had recommended precisely 😂

      So anyways, this was definitely one of my favorite parts of a very fun icfp.

      I also have a fun SPJ story from ICFP (from five years ago), but I'll wait until it's ten years ago to tell it 😀

      Your story should involve challenging him to a sword fight since I totally missed that opportunity!

      I have an SPJ story too, but it didn't involve a sword fight, alas. My favourite thing about him is that we all have stories and they all show that he's really nice :).

          I was a clueless grad student at my first POPL in 2012. SPJ was at PLMW (the first one!) to give his standard "how to write a paper" talk. As he began the talk, he joked, "I was going to call this talk 'how to get your paper into POPL', but POPL rejected my paper this year."

          For most people in the audience, this was probably a mildly funny quip, but for me, to hear SPJ stand there and say "my paper was rejected" was mind-blowing. It was an incredibly important thing for me to hear and had more of an impact on me than anything else at PLMW that year.
