Let's do a "best of" ACM, to list everyone's favorite articles.
First thing that comes to mind for me are the series of articles presented at HOPL conferences, History of Programming Languages.
HOPL II (1993) https://dl.acm.org/doi/proceedings/10.1145/154766
HOPL III (2007) https://dl.acm.org/doi/proceedings/10.1145/1238844
HOPL IV (2021) https://dl.acm.org/do/10.1145/event-12215/abs/
I love that I can now just drop the link to this gem:
https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/1165555.1165556
Aggregability is NP-Hard... Useful the next time someone insists that it's possible to find a "perfect" model for a non-trivial ML problem. (I get this ask 1-2 times per month.)
(As others have said, it's probably better to choose the doi.org URL over the dl.acm.org one in general. Three cheers for HOPL!)
Where is HOPL I? Could only find this: https://dl.acm.org/toc/sigplan/1978/13/8
The HOPL (1) book (ISBN 9780127450407 ) is at https://doi.org/10.1145/800025 (direct link to ACM: https://dl.acm.org/doi/book/10.1145/800025 ) .
