Raised in the north of England where the cold and wet climate was conducive to learning to program, he later ventured south to study computer science at the University of Cambridge. There they forged him down the dark and mysterious paths of compilers, language design, formal semantics and type systems. Despite his theoretical computer science interests, Jonathan is at heart a real programmer. He is heavily involved in the implementation of Rakudo, the Perl 6 compiler targeting Parrot, as well as a being a Parrot internals hacker. In the past, he has worked on bytecode translation from .Net to Parrot. Away from computing, Jonathan is interested in natural languages and is a serial traveler, guilty of using Perl workshops as an excuse to visit lots of new countries and soak up their scenery and culture...and beer. As a Christian, he is also involved with the church, and in the past has done voluntary youth work and written worship songs.
