I'm Donal Fellows, a maintainer of Tcl and member of the Tcl Core Team. I've also got a reasonable amount of experience with Java and C, and I'm fairly familiar with quite a few others. (looks at language box...) OK, a lot of others. (I also know HTML, CSS and XML fairly well, but don't consider them to be programming languages.)
I work at the University of Manchester, where I'm a Senior Software Engineer supporting Research Computing university-wide. My focus is largely on strategic development opportunities and standardization for Grid Computing and the Cloud, mainly as part of the EU-funded Framework programmes. Sometimes that ends up feeling like I'm programming research projects in Word and Powerpoint...
Rosetta Code Projects
At the moment, I'm working on going through all the solutions by Tcl to tasks, checking for correctness (both generally and with respect to the task), clarity of explanation where needed, and clarity of presentation and formatting.
Before that, I focussed especially on “hard” problems, dealing with the tasks that needed the application of advanced machinery such as threads (a lesser known part of Tcl) or an object system (only recently standardized).
