After FFmpeg (used in all your TVs and gadgets, very likely), QEmu (used also by Xen and VBox and other), tcc and his IOCC entries, the DVB-T emission with an ATI card, Fabrice comes, once again with something crazy... He is really impressive...

Any Macarthur Grant folks floating around here? Take note! That's an impressive resume.

Wikipedia says you have to be a US citizen or resident for the MacArthur grant. As far as I know he's French.

According to the Wikipedia page, you need to be a US citizen or resident to be eligible. He seems to be residing in France and I doubt he has a US citizenship. Otherwise, he definitely fits the bill.

So pg was wrong, the greatest hackers don't use Lisp, they write in (and invent) obscure versions of C all day.

One of my favourite hackers is an academic who creates languages just for fun.

Fabrice is one of my all time favorite software engineers. Reading his code, studying his methodologies and learning by copying has been a long time task for me.

My first encounter with his code was QEmu, when it was required to run the XO OLPC linux images. Society truly benefits when people like him are devoted in support of open source software.

This looks awesome! I'm just starting to learn ruby and was going to look today on whether there was a way to run it in a browser very easily. Wonder if this is the answer

Yeah try ruby is a great start. Just need the same interface not just in lesson form to allow you to create Ruby on Rails applications
