Code
I like programming languages [since 1980], hacking on compilers and interpreters [since 1992],
and building educational technology [1995–2015].
I like Scala [since 2008].
I’m on the Scala compiler team at Akka [since 2015], and I’m the main moderator of the Scala chat rooms.
My Mastodon feed is mainly about programming.
All my code is on GitHub.

I’m active on Instagram [since 2011] and Flickr [since 2005].
