Javad's professional interest

Object oriented, Smalltalk, Java, C++, AWK, Scheme, Bash, Ksh In my spare time, I write and co-maintain Free Software.

In my opinion, no programming language is suited to all applications; anyone who claims omnipotence for any language is showing either ignorance or arrogance. Having said that, I like Smalltalk, Java and AWK a lot. I've written programs in Modula-2, Scheme, AWK, 68000 family assembler language (yes, poking raw bytes). I've dabbled in Prolog and Forth along the way.

I'm a great fan of Unix and GNU/Linux. It's fun, it's elegant, it's as simple or as complicated as you need it to be. Contrary to popular belief, Unix is user friendly. It just happens to be selective about who it makes friends with.

I won't get involved in the editor wars (if you don't know, don't ask!). I use several different editors, as I do several different tasks. When I'm programming, I like to use Emacs; when I'm being a system administrator, I like to use Vi or Vim.
