My name is Marco and I’m a code alchemist, thinker, and musician.
Alchemist, ‘cause I think computer science is about transmutation: instead of noble metals, we try to obtain noble data. This involves science, philosphy, magic and a bit of faith. It’s a complex matter.
Thinker, ‘cause I choose to follow the statement “The world is full of fascinating problems waiting to be solved.”. I choose to solve those problems with my intellect and some wizardry called programming languages.
I cast my spells with Clojure, a language built for clarity and power - ideal for an alchemist's work. But it’s just a means to an end: my purpose is to leave the world a little more beautiful, and Lisp dialects are the best wands I’ve found.
I choose to follow no religion, no politic principles. I don’t judge others by their age, race, sex, or beliefs but by how they act.
Someone wiser than me once said that “Truth is a pathless land” and I agree.
