Use when positioning a PLDI paper against the SIGPLAN family and systems neighbors — stating technical deltas per cited line, covering the last few PLDI/POPL/OOPSLA/ICFP cycles, citing PACMPL-era papers in journal form, and verifying every venue attribution on dblp before it ships.

# PLDI Related Work
At PLDI, related work is an adversarial exercise: your reviewers are frequently
the authors of your closest baselines. The section must therefore do two things —
prove you know the landscape's *mechanisms* (not just its citations), and state,
line by line, what this paper does that each prior technique cannot.
## The delta discipline
Ban survey sentences ("Much work has studied pointer analysis [3,7,12,19]").
Every citation earns its place with a mechanism and a delta:
> Steensgaard-style unification [7] scales linearly but merges all callees'
> effects; our signatures keep callee effects separate at equal asymptotic cost
