So random to read this here today. I was a student there at the time and worked with those folks. Never thought I'd hear about Squeak again. Was an honor meeting Dan Ingalls!
2022: Separated from Laura, and moved to my own place in Downtown LA.
2020: Came out publicly as a transgender woman. Changing my name to Vanessa Ada Freudenberg.
2019: Something is afoot. Gotta figure it out soon. Trying some things, gender-wise.
2017: Married Laura! Had a lovely honeymoon in Paris. She makes me very happy :)
2015: Separated amicably from Rita, am now living alone with one of the kids
June 2004: You can call me Dr. Freudenberg now - I defended my PhD thesis with "magna cum laude" (technically I'm an EngD).
July 2003: We moved into our new-built home.
1999: Our twins Jakob and Spencer were born. We're doubling the number of kids every time. Probably should stop now.
1998: I married Rita! And since we chose my wife's last name as our family name, I'm no longer Bert Schönwälder. No umlauts anymore ... Bert Freudenberg is so much easier to spell. :)
1995: Our son Paul was born – double the fun!
1993: Moved in with Rita and her son Sebastian.
@dang, it looks like the comments just got reordered. The top one was posted 5 hours ago, and it fell to the bottom in the last few minutes.
I'm curious how that happened since you've just posted this message above.
EDIT: Ah I get it: the headline was updated by moderation, and the comment critiquing the headline was de-ranked. The post is still wrong though, the link should be pointing at https://x.com/dynlangsym/status/1856748088708210924, since the PDF from 2014 doesn't explain the 2024 headline.
It won an award from the Dynamic Languages Symposium. A minor workshop that gets about 4-6 submissions per year. By the standards of modern academia this would be considered a tiny venue, like 10x smaller than any say at workshop at NeurIPS and quite a bit smaller than an ICFP workshop.

Sigplan doesn't even have a most notable paper award. https://www.sigplan.org/Awards/
