In my day job(s), a translator from Russian to English specializing in arts and technology-related material; also a philosopher / descriptive logician. My first book, <i>Towards a Science of Belief Systems</i>, was published by Palgrave Macmillan in 2014. My second is scheduled to appear in late 2016.
Hobbyist programmer.
The programming languages I like the best tend to be ones that embody a clear model of computation and a clear aesthetic vision. (In Larry Wall's terms I am a doctrinaire 'modernist'.) I enjoy the verbosity of COBOL, and the terseness of APL. In fact, I think I've liked every language I've ever seen that <i>didn't</i> obey normal operator precedence—because that's always a sign that a language is built according to some coherent principle. I also approve strongly of languages created for educational purposes and for non-specialists, such as BASIC and Logo.
