#introduction 1/

I'm a long-time computer programmer living in #PalmSprings, California.

I actually programmed FORTRAN and COBOL professionally back in the day (sometimes on punch cards!), quickly followed by C on #UNIX in 1975, then C++, Java, #Scala, and currently #GoLang. I also like and have written quite a bit of #Clojure and #APL, though not for money.

I wrote up a story about my first #Scala experience here: https://mastodon.social/@tomchappell/109311684682010904

Still going strong -- back off, bugs.

A #Scala story: Back in January 2011, I needed a project to work on as a vehicle to learn #Scala, the #FunctionalProgramming language. (I also during that same project learned #git and #emacs -- just a bunch of new (to me, back then) technology, learn it all!) 1/
