Shit. I just worked with Paul not too long ago at Oculus. That’s a real loss.

Oh, that's terrible news :( We had some good conversations about the EASTL design with him early on designing the Rust standard library. Very smart and articulate guy.

Sad news. It sounds like he must have been a really influential and inspiring person to work with. We could all hope to have the fortune of having people like this in our cohort of colleagues around us! :) I love this bit of the 1993 bio on Mobygames: "I do this computer work on the side as a hobby"
