+> In this sequence of posts I'm going to try to summarize the state of research into Choreographic Programming (CP),
+> it's recent past, status quo, and what I anticipate happening soon.
+> I'm assuming any readers already have a basic sense of what CP _is_;
+> if not, I'd suggest readers familiar with Haskell to start with the HasChor paper {{ page.citations.haschor }}
+> and other readers to start with Choral {{ page.citations.choral }}.
+
+The vibe among people who've been working on choreographic programming (CP)
+is that CP is _about_ to become a mainstream way of writing concurrent systems.
+I think there's a sense in which that's true, and I also think the situation could be much improved.
+In preparation for describing my own research plans for the next year, I figured I should summarize my understanding of recent history.
+There's inherent risk in writing any such thing: I'm going to get it wrong and I'm going to omit important stuff.
+In fact, in this post, I'm only going to discuss six papers.
+Part two will summarize my notes from the recent CP workshop at PLDI 2024.
