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.
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.
 
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.
 
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.
