About

I used to be a CS lecturer, now I design programming languages as a hobby:

  • Papyri, a programmable markup language.
  • MJr, a probabilistic programming language based on pattern-rewriting.
  • fffff, the silliest stack-based concatenative language.

My current favourite languages are TypeScript and Rust. I also have a blog here.
