What's his day job? Internet is dark about this guy.
- haberman 10y agoI've met Mike Pall in person. I've worked with him some since I helped facilitate a sponsorship from Google (https://opensource.googleblog.com/2010/01/love-for-luajit.html https://opensource.googleblog.com/2010/01/love-for-luajit.ht...). A lot of his work on LuaJIT has been supported by various sponsorships (see: https://luajit.org/sponsors.html https://luajit.org/sponsors.html). This gives him a lot of freedom to work the way he wants to, instead of working as part of a larger organization. Also note that the sponsorship page says that Mike is currently working on "unrelated projects", so apparently things besides LuaJIT are keeping him busy now.
- chubot 10y agoWhat did he work on before LuaJIT? Seems like he could have been involved in CPU design? He thinks more like a hardware guy than a C programmer.
- haberman 10y agoI don't know that much about his background. I didn't get much of a chance to talk shop with him (which is too bad, I would have loved to pick his brain about all sorts of things). I also assume from the lack of info about him on the Internet that he's a somewhat private person, so I definitely wanted/want to respect that.
- to3m 10y agoThis won't do all that much to fill in any gaps in his CV, but here's something else he wrote: http://www.pagetable.com/?p=656 http://www.pagetable.com/?p=656
