I`m a guy. On the Internet. I should get out more. I`ve used a bunch of languages over the past 20+ years: BASIC, SPSS, IBM 360 JCL, DCL, Fortran, assembly languages: Z-80, CDC 6600/Cyber, m68000, 6809, 8086 (yecch), MIX; Pascal, APL, sh, bash, csh, Snobol, SIMULA, C, awk, Concurrent Euclid, pbdl, C++, LISPs: Emacs, tiny, Common, Scheme; FP, Prolog, Forth, Modula-2, ADA, Haskell, S, Objective-C, Postscript, SQL, TCL, Eiffel, Perl, R, Java, Javascript, Python and Ruby. I dislike 8086 because of the segmented architecture and Perl for its write-only property, but I like Lisp, C, Objective-C and NeXT/Apple`s frameworks and kits (Cocoa and more), and Python for their power and simplicity. I also enjoy teaching, data structures and algorithms for fun and profit, and figuring out how things work. Douglas Hofstader`s Gödel, Escher, Bach is my favorite book, and Kurt Vonnegut may be my favorite author, or at least he came up with the line I`ve paraphrased into my motto: Dammit babies, be kind to each other!* . *Actual Quote: There`s only one rule that I know of, babies -- `God damn it, you`ve got to be kind.`â€
