Starting from the solution of the Mordell-Lang conjecture about two decades ago, we shall go through the various progresses that have been made since, especially during the last decade: counting the solutions and uniformity questions; varying the underlying group. The link with the study of points of small height and recent results in that line will also be discussed.
