I met some interesting gradual type people at POPL yesterday, and the schedule was full of good talks! Friday opened with a great introduction to probabilistic PLs with live demos. It showed usage, although it feels like "random programming with magic" https://popl20.sigplan.org/details/POPL-2020-Research-Papers/71/Probabilistic-Programming

Probabilistic Programming (POPL 2020 - Research Papers) - POPL 2020

The annual Symposium on Principles of Programming Languages is a forum for the discussion of all aspects of programming languages and programming systems. Both theoretical and experimental papers are welcome on topics ranging from formal frameworks to experience reports. We seek submissions that make principled, enduring contributions to the theory, design, understanding, implementation or application of programming languages. The symposium is sponsored by ACM SIGPLAN, in cooperation with ACM SIGACT and ACM SIGLOG.
