hello
i am viba. pronouns are she/they/it. i was born on October 4 2004; I am therefore 18 years old at the time of writing. I am autistic and do silly things that make no sense.
I mainly engage in programming and conlangs, to varying degrees. although, I am less interested in the latter than I used to be.
I consider myself to be a weirdly multifaceted and dissociating person who can never decide who the hell they want to be.
viba thinks computers are interesting and here's why
being born in 2004 it is hardly surprising that I gained a grasp of computers from quite an early age, perhaps 4 or 5. plus the relatively lax parenting I was raised with meant I had virtually unrestriced access to them, for better or for worse.
computers provide the ability to create entire worlds and environments that would be infeasible or outright impossible in the real world. they can create communities that might otherwise never exist. they make it immensely easy to get your creative works seen by people. computers, particularily the internet, may be used for a lot of evil today, but this will never undermine the power to communicate with people instantly across the world.
programming languages i like
Lua: probably my favorite programming language. i enjoy that it is simple and lightweight, yet it can do a lot of stuff. it fits quite well with my own programming philosophies. it's used by the LÖVE framework, which I have been extensively using for video game creation.
C: I am not the most experienced with it, but as of late I have been using it for creating bootable quasi-OS experiments.
Scratch: okay well I don't use this one much anymore; I just spent too long in my phase where I was scared to use any other language, so i felt the need to acknowledge that somehow and put that well-deserved shame upon myself. although, many aspects of Scratch's design philosophy are intriguing to me; it provides an exceedingly simple and easy-to-grasp framework that is quite capable of making fun audiovisual interactive programs. plus, I find it somewhat interesting when people manage to make more complex programs such as 3d engines etc, which from a surface level, most people would doubt could ever be made in a funni coding website for children.
