I love building systems and exploring ideas, especially through programming, as it is the best medium I know for "expressing poorly understood and sloppily-formulated ideas".

My current weapon of choice is Rust, but I've also seen the world through Erlang, OCaml, Racket, and C. Each somehow shaping my goggles.
