[Sysop_fb]

Hello,
Currently in the army and deployed but I was a programmer before I enlisted and still do it as a hobby although now I'm mostly interested in system programming.

Languages I know: C, OCaML, lisp, scheme, x86 asm
Languages I've messed with: Erlang, ML, Haskell

Currently just doing some reading: (trying to digest) graphics programming black book and understanding O/S design and implementation (for the 3rd time)

Welcome aboard! how do you like haskell?

Welcome to CodeCall! Were you on MSN Chat when it was alive or are you on a MSN Chat Clone Site? Those are really the only places I've seen system operator abbreviated to Sysop and then a underscore added and then the name.

Thanks for the welcomes

To answer the questions:

Currently I'm in Iraq

In regards to haskell, I don't think I've played around with it enough as of yet but it reminded me of OCaML from a glance. I have a few haskell books lined up in my amazon wishlist I plan on going through before this deployment is up (I've actually been meaning to sit down and learn haskell ever since I learned lisp). Right after I'm done with my current books actually (gpbb is like 4 books in one though) I plan on it. Do you use it much?

My name while I did use it on those old msn chat servers (the ones with all the comic chat users) it actually originated from the old BBS days.

Hello Sysop_fb, Welcome to CodeCall! I must say, you have an odd taste in languages. :P

[Sysop_fb]

I concur John but I can't help my fascinations.

Jordan, I just noticed it says you live in NC. I drive through near you from Fort Bragg when I'm on my way home. It's about the same here in the summer as it is in NC just... more humid.

Edit- I said more humid but it really fluctuates.. one day like yesterday it could be super humid and then the next it could be super dry but either way there's always 5 billion mosquitos.

Next thing I know, you are going to add ALGOL68 to that list. LOL

I can't really make fun of you since lately I have been working with Scheme, ML, Lisp, Erlang, and Prolog, not to mention ARM Assembly (but not because I want to) :P
