Last weeks thread here

Welcome to this week’s casual kōrero thread!

This post will be pinned in this community so you can always find it, and will stay for about a week until replaced by the next one.

It’s for talking about anything that might not justify a full post. For example:

  • Something interesting that happened to you
  • Something humourous that happened to you
  • Something frustrating that happened to you
  • A quick question
  • A request for recommendations
  • Pictures of your pet
  • A picture of a cloud that kind of looks like an elephant
  • Anything else, there are no rules (except the rule)

So how’s it going?

    That’s great! Is it too personal to ask what your PhD is in? I see you have some info on your website, I assume your PhD is not “writing a new programming language” but rather something that your new language pushes the boundries on?

      Thanks. The type system of the language has some interesting novelty but my key research area is automatic parallelisation of code written in that language.

        Ooh interesting, is that something that exists in some form in other languages or is it an entirely new concept?
