I think it's good to see these kinds of prodigy contributing to high-profiled open source projects. I've seen one or two of this kinds at Microsoft as interns. Boy they're really geeky. They have the technical chop. They will argue you to death how pointer works to the lowest-level of your hardware. With. Exact. Details. And. Unmatched. Precisions.
