Hi! I'm Amos Wenger, better known as fasterthanlime.
I run bearcove, doing open-source Rust and teaching through writing and video.
Current projects:
- facet — reflection, serialization, pretty-printing for Rust
- arborium — 96 tree-sitter grammars, syntax highlighting everywhere
- rc-zip — sans-io ZIP implementation
- rubicon — safer dynamic linking in Rust
I spend most of my time writing in-depth articles, making videos, and co-hosting the self-directed research podcast.
Before I did this, I worked at companies including itch.io, netlify, and fly.io.
In a previous life, I worked on cool stuff like an MP3 decoder in the browser (that was before emscripten), the itch.io desktop app (it used to work!), I even made my own programming language, ooc way back when.
