45 years of coding I still have fun improving and learning
Since 7 years I work for startups doing web applications (typescript, react, meteor, mongo, mobx)
I love to combine OO with functional concepts.
I was one of the first users of python. I downloaded one the first versions published by Guido
I wrote my first programs in the mid 70ies
Starting full time programming in the mid 80ies and worked for 9 years in (what is now called) machine learning in the field of theoretical molecular biology (biocomputing) at EMBL: protein sequence analysis, protein structure prediction and data visualization
Then I worked for 20 years building IDEs for C/C++, python and other languages. First in C++ (based on the ET++ library (see below)) later based on eclipse in Java.
I worked on performance monitoring tools for embedded systems
By background is OO -- I worked on a framework called ET++ which was created by Erich Gamma (the main author of the Design Patterns book).
