I never thought I would go out of my way to visit Hawaii, but I thoroughly enjoyed my visit there with Danny a few years ago. We went to Maui, but I liked it. Beautiful place!!
Cool that you were able to go twice!! The internship thingie sounds interesting.

I'd probably have been more impressed with Maui had we not already seen the Big Island -- there were so many times we were thinking "This is nice, but such-and-such on Big Island was better..." But there's some really cool (and gorgeous) places on Maui too. :)

Danny and I will have to make it out to the Big Island, it sounds like.

ah so I schould have just this post instead of asking you in my reply...

So you are at the UW, hmm you must be habitating in a different area than me. (most of my classes are in PA building & my life seems to be spent in the math tutor center) Still if you are up for it and schedule permits, we schould grab coffee or something.

Yeah, I'm mostly up in the CSE/EE building, though this quarter I have classes all the way up in Denny, and I don't get down towards PA building very often. But we definitely should try to get together for coffee at some point.

Compilers is fun! Do you get to use functional languages?

vulture23 October 24 2007, 06:15:40 UTC

No functional languages right now. The class project involves a toy Java compiler, implemented in Java (feh). But it's fun nonetheless. (Okay, I wouldn't really call hand-construction of an LALR(1) parser table fun, even for a tiny little toy language with half a dozen rules, but you know what I mean.)

I have previously had a class in which we used both Scheme and Standard ML. Thanks to the latter, one of these days I want to check out OCaml... :)

I haven't used OCaml, but my C-like background made ML a lot easier to understand at first.
