#255 Tomas Petricek always looking under the covers

Tomas placed the start of his journey in high school, where he was part of a group of friends interested in computers. His interest in "understanding what's under the hood" ignited there. He explained how working in the open, publishing small open-source components got him to "professional development" alongside his university studies. Then we talked about how his interest in transpiling C# to Javascript (before transpiling to JS was cool) led him to F#, which led him to a working relationship with Don Syme (designer of F#), which led him to Cambridge University, etc. We talked about his Ph.D. around context-dependent programming languages and coeffects. We ended on science philosophy, debugging & testing, and how languages are taught nowadays at university.Here are the links from the showhttps://www.twitter.com/tomaspetricekhttps://tomasp.net/https://www.linkedin.com/in/tomaspetricek/https://tomasp.net/coeffects/https://tomasp.net/techdims/http://fsharpconf.com/https://datascienceinfsharp.com/CreditsCover Legends by HoliznaCC0 is licensed CC0 1.0 Universal License.Your host is Timothée (Tim) Bourguignon; more about him at timbourguignon.fr.Gift the podcast a rating on one of the significant platforms https://devjourney.info/subscribeSupport the show
