Programming language theory and design.

One of the more interesting fields of computer science, I believe. I’ve been fascinated with programming languages ever since I was a little riki.

There’s always been something magical about writing special words into a computer, and the computer being able to interpret them.

So with my tendency for digging deep into any topic I’m interested in, it was only natural that at some point, I started designing and writing those programming languages myself.

An important thing of note is that I’m not an academic. I’m a practicioner and a humanist. Therefore, most of my programming language knowledge lives on the more human, design side of things, rather than the theoretical, mathematical side.

I know a lot of the basics behind the theory of it all, but I’m by no means on the cutting edge of language theory and computer science.
