I like Ruby. It is my go-to language when doing small hacks and prototyping. What I cannot do with sh, awk, sed and find I do with Ruby. Did I mention that Rails and Sinatra are pretty neat too?

Yes! Parentheses! Lisp. The beauty of the language is astonishing. Simple yet powerful. Real metaprogramming. Real macros.

I have kept an eye on Clojure since beta. I really like the language. I like it so much that I've build @swedenomxs30, a Twitter bot that posts hourly updates of the Swedish stock market index. I look forward to working more with Clojure in the near future.

I have a love and hate relationship with JavaScript. Awesome language but lots of quirks. That's why I prefer working with a much cleaner abstraction of it - CoffeeScript.

Nevertheless, JavaScript is fun. The times we live in are exciting. I am excited about this whole HTML5 movement slash The Next Web and really trying to be a part of it.

Yep, that's me. Ilia Mikhailov. 34. Hacker. Father. Superhero. Living life in Stockholm, Sweden. While I like all the stuff above I am very much aware that even the best technology in the world fades when it comes to working with great people and the power of effective communication.

Do I sound like a cool guy to have around? Get it touch with me and we can chat. How? I leave that up to you. My email shouldn't be too hard to figure out.

Psst! I also like practical jokes, DnB and Emacs.
