My name is [http://arfer.net Kodi Arfer].
Greetings, fellow Interneter! As you might surmise from the table, I mostly write in Perl ("Underscore" is just the English translation of "<code>$_</code>"), but I know enough of a few other languages to be dangerous. My favorite is probably Haskell.


I've contributed a bunch of task solutions, particularly in Perl 5, Perl 6, and Haskell. Nearly all of the first hundred Perl 6 solutions were my work.
Perl 6 is in many ways a more Haskellian Perl, so I'm awfully excited about it. In fact, I'm part of the development team, in a small way. And as of the time of this writing, I've written the vast majority of Perl 6 examples on Rosetta Code. But since there doesn't yet exist a reasonably complete implementation, and the specification is, to a degree, still in flux, I'd be hard-pressed to say how proficient in Perl 6 I actually am. It doesn't help that Perl 6 may well be the most complicated programming language ever designed. It's got more features than you can shake a stick at. It puts the "pathologically" back in "pathologically eclectic rubbish lister".

I wrote [[User:UnderBot|UnderBot]] and [http://rosettacode.org/geshi AutoGeSHi].

I'm (er, I was?) a [[Rakudo]] hacker. I wrote a lot of the code for the <code>DateTime</code>, <code>Date</code>, and <code>Instant</code> classes. If you find a bug in Rakudo's time-handling facilities, it's probably my fault.

I'm only a hobbyist programmer. I have no career and almost no formal training in computer science or software engineering. Actually, I'm a psychology student. Some would say it shows.
