hello

i am viba. i am she or they. i was born on October 4 2004; I am therefore 19 years old. I am autistic and do silly things that make no sense.

I mainly engage in programming and conlangs, to varying degrees.

I once gained accidental mild internet notoriety by making GoAnimate videos about fictional terrible operating systems, so perhaps you might know me for that.

I consider myself to be a weirdly multifaceted and dissociating person who can never decide who the hell they want to be. if you've noticed the inconsistent capitalizaiton of the word "I" across this page, consider this a metaphor for that.

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 extensively used for interactive program creation.

• C: I am not the most experienced with it, but I have used it primarily for creating a particular silly bootable quasi-OS thing.

• Scratch: okay well I don't use this one much anymore (and am largely put off by its community of predominantly annoying children); 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.

about the programs I make

much of my interactive computer software is on my itch.io page. many of them are parody operating systems because I have a weird fixation with those. others are video games that are usually either very silly or deliberatly terrible.

the code in my projects is not necesarily meant to be "good". If you find that you are someone who is pedantic about "code quality" and "good programming practices", do not look at my code. nonetheless, I find that the way I code things works fine for me, so I don't really care.

i make and speak conlangs i think

I first acquired an interest in conlangs around 2014 (age 10). technically speaking, I have made dozens upon dozens of conlangs, but most of them are drafts that were abandoned within hours with at most 12 words. only a lucky few have ever gone anywhere. Sanila, a personal conlang, is the language of mine with the largest vocabulary, and arguably the one I have put the most attention towards.

I also have an interest in "cipherlangs", systematic alterations of existing languages which can be spoken verbally. Viesa is the cipherlang of mine I have put the most attention towards, and I can even speak it fluently.

languages i speak

please talk to me in any and all of these languages im lonely

languages I speak proficiently (for some definition of "proficiently"):

• English
• Toki Pona
• Vötgil

languages I can speak if I have a dictionary on hand

• virtually every other jack eisenmann conlang
• Sanila
• Esperanto
• Lingua Franca Nova
