Use when interpreting PLDI's review pipeline — double-blind HotCRP reviewing by a PL-implementor PC, the February author-response window, March notification, up-to-10% Distinguished Paper selection, and how post-acceptance artifact evaluation and PACMPL publication follow the decision.

# PLDI Review Process

Model the pipeline from the 2026 cycle (pldi26.sigplan.org, read 2026-07-08),
then re-anchor every date to the current edition: papers due November 13, 2025;
reviews written over the winter; author response February 17-21, 2026; decisions
March 5, 2026; artifact evaluation after acceptance; publication as PACMPL Issue
