[Dibyendu Majumdar]

Hi

I am looking for any write-up or recollection about the debate mentioned here:

https://pages.cs.wisc.edu/~reps/popl00/cfd00.html

And also mentioned in an interview with Fran Allen (Coders at Work).

Many thanks

Regards

Did you contact the conference chair about getting access to the position
papers, or for his recollections?  I believe he is still in the same
position (CS Professor at the University of Wisconsin) and it is entirely
possible that his contact information is still valid.
