• AKA: Language Conference, Language-Specific Conference, Developer Language Conference.
• Context:
  • It can typically feature Language Feature Presentations on syntax updates and language evolution.
  • It can typically include Language Tutorial Sessions for beginner developers and advanced practitioners.
  • It can typically host Core Developer Meetings for language maintainers and specification discussions.
  • It can typically facilitate Language Community Building through networking events and collaborative sessions.
  • It can often showcase Language Library Announcements from package developers and framework authors.
  • It can often provide Language Implementation Discussions on compiler optimizations and runtime improvements.
  • It can often support Language Education Initiatives via workshop programs and training sessions.
  • It can range from being a Single-Language Conference to being a Multi-Language Conference, depending on its language scope.
  • It can range from being a National Language Conference to being an International Language Conference, depending on its geographic reach.
