PLDI needs to start taking HCI evaluation seriously. Example: paper claims its PL has "intuitive semantics" (https://dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3385412.3386007 …). Press release claims "the first intuitive programming language for quantum computers" (https://ethz.ch/en/news-and-events/eth-news/news/2020/06/the-first-intuitive-programming-language-for-quantum-computers.html …). Let's see the proof.

For this paper, I think a better eval would be to pick 3 interesting programs and do a qualitative comparison of their lang vs. Q#. No LoC, no metrics, just a careful expert analysis of why they think their lang is better a better representation.

They could also acknowledge that what they're doing is desing, no science, but of course, then they'd never get any papers published.
