[PL-sem-jr] Fwd: [MIT-PL] PL Seminar 10/15/18: The Power of Abstraction, Barbara Liskov

[Artem Pelenitsyn]

Hello Hyeyoung,

Thanks for your input! I will definitely go to Barbara's talk. Also, I
think rescheduling disturbs people, and I prefer not to do that for the
sake of 1-2 people.

So I see you on the Pl-sem-jr on the week after next!

Best wishes, Artem
