So I really enjoy programming and I am really fascinated with language design and implementation (for both compilers and interpreters) but the former seems even more fun. I once wrote a little interprter (in the form of a REPL) for a tiny language that wasn't all that useful in Python and did the same for a compiler (wrote a little useless but workable, somewhat I guess, language) in D.

I, however, enjoy compilers more (native compilers) because I don't like to abstract things too much away from a computer to make it seem as thought it is a "black-box that can just do things" but rather like the moe in-depth look at how they really work in computer science.

I love academia a lot and really want to make an impact on it. I cannot express how joyful I am when it comes to programing - I just love it so much.

I also like old languages like C for their, I dare to say simplistic approach to programming (I am aware it is not simplistic but atleast it doesn't try to be too many things at once, I what I mean). I also like D a lot as it was a good stepping stone from me to go from Java (a compiled and interpreted (via a VM) langauge) to a natively compiled (for a CPU's given instruction set) language).

I hope to make a friends here and receive the help I need when I need it (I am not lazy and do my own research) and to help others also :).

I am not pretentious in anyway, I hope my profile picture doesn't protray me as so (it was a Grade 12 farewell dance).
