More about me

I'm a rabid programming language designer. The frameworks I build in my spare time are for the purpose of making my future frameworks easier to grok—and therefore more ambitious. This makes me significantly better prepared to whip together programs that help with my "real" hobbies, like TCGs, interactive fiction, comedy anime, and game modding, whenever inspiration strikes hard enough.
