I started programming when I was 7 years old, sitting on my father's lap, taking turns reading and writing code on a TRS-80 CoCo. I have about 20 years experience on Microsoft technologies, including .NET languages, and a lot less on Linux and opensource technologies, but I'm aiming to change that. Languages of choice are now Racket, Haskell, and C#, but I like any functional programming language, or a language that supports functional programming well.
