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 am part of the Scala compiler team at Lightbend [since June 2015].

My Twitter feed is mainly about programming. All my code is on GitHub.

Photos

I’m active on Instagram [since 2011] and (less these days) Flickr [since 2005].
