popl-related-work

Use when positioning a POPL paper in the semantics, type-systems, and verification literature — stating per-line technical deltas against the nearest formal systems, covering the PACMPL family and LICS/CAV/CPP/TOPLAS neighbors, citing PACMPL-era papers in journal form, and dblp-verifying every classic before it is attributed to POPL.

# POPL Related Work

At POPL the related-work section is part of the *proof of novelty*: reviewers are
specialists who know the three closest systems, and the section must say — precisely
— what your formalism can do that each of them cannot, or what assumption of theirs
you discharge. Venue-form facts below were checked 2026-07-08.

## Delta sentences, not tours

Weak: "Much work has studied gradual typing [1-9]." Strong: each nearest neighbor
gets a sentence with a technical object in it —

- "[X]'s soundness needs whole-program compilation; our Theorem 5 holds under
  separate compilation because the logical relation is defined on open terms."
