You can find most of my git repositories on my Gitea instance and on GitHub.

Past projects

  • I was doing the releases of Emacs from version 24.5 to 27.2. I also maintained several Emacs packages, including Indium, js2-refactor, seq.el, map.el, thunk.el, stream.el, amd-mode, xref-js2, zerodark, niflheim, as well as some others.
  • I'm the creator of Amber, a Smalltalk that runs inside the web browser (I don't maintain it anymore)
  • I'm the author of klassified, a Smalltalk-inspired object model for JavaScript, maintained together with Ben.
  • I'm also the author of SmalltalkHub, a code repository and project management application for Smalltalk (I don't maintain it anymore)
  • I contributed to MongoTalk, the Pharo driver for MongoDB, and Phriak, the Pharo driver for Riak.
