Programming

Languages

The languages that I've used the most are Python and the multi-paradigm Wolfram Language (used in Mathematica), but I've also written a fair bit in Haskell and Javascript, and dabbled in many other languages—Java, Kotlin, Purescript, C, C++, Ruby, Perl, …

In addition, I've used other sorts of languages, including HTML, CSS, SQL, Power Query M, (La)TeX, …

Given my interest in education and my work with students from around the world, I'd like to highlight Hedy, which scaffolds students along the path to learning Python via easier commands in their native language.
