Lennart Augustsson
Lennart Augustsson is a Swedish computer scientist. He was previously a lecturer at the Computing Science Department at Chalmers University of Technology. His research field is functional programming and implementations of functional languages.[1]
Augustsson has worked for Carlstedt Research and Technology, Sandburst, and Credit Suisse and is currently employed by Standard Chartered Bank.[2]
Augustsson is the author of:
- The Cayenne programming language.[3]
- The HBC Haskell compiler.[4]
- Several hardware device drivers for NetBSD.[5]
- The front end of the pH compiler (parallel Haskell) from MIT.[6]
- The initial version of the Bluespec compiler.[7]
He was intimately involved in early LPMud development, both in the LPMUD driver and the CD mudlib. His MUD community pseudonym is Marvin.[8]
Augustsson has written three winning entries in the International Obfuscated C Code Contest:
- 1985 Most obscure program (1985/august.c)
- 1986 Best complex task done in a complex way (1986/august.c)
- 1996 Best of Show (1996/august.c)
