This is nice to see. I'm always surprised how the overwhelming majority of pure math people I meet online are solidly on the algebra or logic side of things. D

  > but where's all the love for analysis & PDEs? That would be getting too close to stuff that's actually useful.

    Logic is my thing (although regrettably not what my supervisor has me doing; that's another can of worms). For me personally, the above is exactly correct. Logic is wonderful for me in large part because it's so far removed from tactile reality, though so ingrained in everything. PDEs/analysis are way too applied for my taste; they as such don't give me the same escape into a world of pure thought (although of course they do provide this moreso than applied ML, or -- god forbid, for me -- web development would). Logic is seductive to me this way.

  It's still number theory though.
