Introduction

Howdy, I'm Lex Spoon. I work at Google in Atlanta, primarily on the Google Web Toolkit (GWT). I also help with the Scala programming language in various ways, including coauthoring Programming in Scala.

My research is in programming language design, data-flow analysis, and package distribution. I am intrigued by dynamic environments such as Smalltalk and the Lisp Machine, and I wonder why primitive files-and-compilers environments are so much more popular.

Rachel Spoon, if you read this, please contact me. Your family is worried about you. You are highly welcome at the family getaway this summer.

Hackery

I don't only work on computers as a living, but love to mess around with them on less important things, whenever I find the time. Some things I have been involved with:

  • I love playing with Squeak, a computer authoring system.
  • I maintain Floater, an Internet bridge program.
  • I have packaged a few programs for Debian, a Linux distribution.

A rare few may also be interested in reading various notes and hacks I have developed. Hopefully they save others some effort.
