Hi! I've been a software developer for 20+ years, specializing in systems software (embedded, both bare-metal and on top of linux, full-stack web development) with a deep interest in pragmatic code influenced by theoretical thinking.
The languages I have used professionally (and love) are Common Lisp, C, C++, Golang, PHP, Javascript, Python, Java. I am coming out of a 10 year job doing embedded development in C++, Python and Golang, and am back as a Principal Engineer at an E-commerce company doing PHP, Typescript with Wordpress and React as main frameworks. I am writing open-source software in Golang when I find the time.
Languages I have "seriously" played with (hobby level) that I didn't click with are: Rust (although that one I am going to give another try), Clojure, Haskell and Scala. I have used Lua for video games with PICO-8 and it's been great fun, and I could see using it in a professional setting one day too.
If I had the time to pursue some new concepts and languages, I would be very interested in working with elixir/erlang and elm, as well as dabbling with some more academic languages .
I am excited to start writing on dev.to and being part of the community, it's been way overdue!
