Roman Shaposhnik
Roman Shaposhnik started his career in compilers back in '94 when he was faced with a necessity of writing a translator for the programming language he'd just invented (the language was so weird -- nobody else wanted to do the job). While studying mathematics in St.Petersburg State University he got sidetracked into the field of linguistics at which point his obsession with formal languages beyond human comprehension was totally incurable and eventually helped him land a job at Sun working on a C++ parser. Nowadays he works on Sun Studio compilers and tools as a Sun Studio Linux Architect and truly believes that our beloved Moore's Law is dead and all software engineers have to learn how to survive under a new sheriff in town: the Ahmdal's Law.
