Hi there. I'm Just Another College Kid, but I'm not a computer-science major. In fact, as of yet, I've yet to receive any real formal instruction in computer science or in programming; everything I know about software, I've picked up myself in my spare time. |
|||
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. |
|||
As you can surmise from the table, my language of choice is Perl. ("Underscore" is the English name of <code>$_</code>.) Aside from Inform 6, which nobody cares about and is already obsolete, it was my first programming language. I began my study of it when I was sixteen, and it's remained close to my heart ever since. I rarely care about the execution speed of my programs, and I prefer a language that emphasizes freedom and power over discipline and elegance, so it's a natural fit for me. Yet I must admit that lately, I've been rather drawn to Haskell, which, despite its entirely static typing and purely functional nature, gives the programmer a startling number of options. |
|||
I wrote [[User:UnderBot|UnderBot]] and [http://rosettacode.org/geshi AutoGeSHi]. |
|||
Anywho, if you see a task that needs a Perl example, or a Perl example that needs work, give me a holler and I'll be happy to help. |
|||
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. |

My name is Kodi Arfer.
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.
I wrote UnderBot and AutoGeSHi.
I'm (er, I was?) a Rakudo hacker. I wrote a lot of the code for the DateTime
, Date
, and Instant
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.
