I really like to see what <a href="https://dynamicland.org/" rel="nofollow">https://dynamicland.org/</a> is doing at the moment. A team with bright minds, but so little news.
I posted a link to <a href="https://github.com/papers-we-love/papers-we-love" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/papers-we-love/papers-we-love</a> the other day. In addition the repo, they run meetups where they discuss the papers.
