MoreVMs 2018 - 2nd Workshop on Modern Language Runtimes, and Ecosystems

The workshop aims to enable a diverse discussion on how languages and runtimes are currently being utilized, and where they need to improve further. We welcome presentation proposals in the form of extended abstracts discussing experiences, work-in-progress, as well as future visions, from either an academic or industrial perspective.
Topics of Interest
Relevant topics include, but are definitely not limited to, the following:
Extensible VM design (compiler- or interpreter-based VMs)
Reusable components (e.g. interpreters, garbage collectors, …)
Static and dynamic compilation techniques
Techniques for targeting high-level languages such as JavaScript
Interoperability between languages
Tooling support (e.g. debugging, profiling, etc.)
Programming language development environments
Case studies of existing language implementation approaches
Language implementation challenges and trade-offs
Surveys and usage reports to understand usage in the wild
Ideas for more predictable performance
Ideas for how VMs could take advantage of new hardware features
Ideas for how we should build languages in the future
