Yet Another Lambda Blog

In 2012 I started a technical blog about functional programming titled Yet Another Lambda Blog. That blog became inactive in 2016. Towards the end of 2021 I salvaged all posts from my Wordpress instance and placed them here. Unfortunately, comments, many of which were very insightful, were not preserved by the migration.

Towards the end of 2022, I decided to reactivate the blog. New posts will rarely be about functional programming. Expect posts on whatever it is that interests me at the moment: retro gaming, console modding, board games, books, programming. Subscribe to RSS feed to stay up to date with my latest posts.
