My name is [http://arfer.net Kodi Arfer]. I started off at Rosetta Code by contributing task solutions, mostly in Perl 5, Perl 6, and Haskell, but nowadays I mostly work on things like [[User:UnderBot|UnderBot]] and [http://rosettacode.org/geshi AutoGeSHi].
Greetings, fellow Interneter! As you might surmise from the table, I mostly write in Perl ("Underscore" is just the English translation of "<code>$_</code>"), but I know enough of a few other languages to be dangerous. My favorite is probably Haskell.
 
Perl 6 is in many ways a more Haskellian Perl, so I'm awfully excited about it. In fact, I'm part of the development team, in a small way. And as of the time of this writing, I've written the vast majority of Perl 6 examples on Rosetta Code. But since there doesn't yet exist a reasonably complete implementation, and the specification is, to a degree, still in flux, I'd be hard-pressed to say how proficient in Perl 6 I actually am. It doesn't help that Perl 6 may well be the most complicated programming language ever designed. It's got more features than you can shake a stick at. It puts the "pathologically" back in "pathologically eclectic rubbish lister".
