This article is a draft, and is half here to test out things as I build this site.

Here’s a (potentially) controversial statement for 2025: I really like scripting languages. At my day job, I use a proprietary programming language called q, which you can imagine as a mix of APL, SQL, and Haskell, that’s designed for dealing with the massive amounts of timeseries data that one encounters working in finance. When at home, I’ll categorize my video game documentaries with Perl, make puzzles for my friends in Python, and sync music to my MP3 player with shell scripts.
