Interesting article. Unlike some other SIGs, SIGPLAN actually doesn’t have a single flagship conference; POPL, PLDI, and OOPSLA are all flagships. The first is generally focused on theoretical contributions, while the latter include more practically-oriented articles. Expanding the analysis to PLDI would more accurately capture SIGPLAN membership.
Glad to see that ACM SIGMOD is a very well connected community! Thanks for the article!
