Other Reflections

I took time off of work and contracting to do a research residency with Ink&Switch. It gave me space to explore, collaborate, and share with others. I had a lovely time with the lab folks.

I made some other math-y stuff, like ∞ number zoom tech demo, poincaré disk driving and curvature vis.

I participated in Alex Warth's Prototyping Programming Languages class with others at the lab. I made an interpreter for a functional programming language, a pattern matching DSL, a source-to-source translator for an object-oriented programming language, and a small prolog. It was wonderful!
Separate from the class, I made this small REPL and to be honest I forget how to use it.

"The best way to make it is the way you're thinking of right now"
- something I told myself during this period that helped me explore and make things

"but most importantly, your abstraction is not based on examples or applications"
