- 7thaccount 7y agoAudrey Tang is a Tawaainese Minister (not sure of what.. computing?) and wrote one of the first Perl6 implementations using Haskell I think.

- 7thaccount 7y agoThanks for the clarification Audrey! Quick question...do you still actively code? If so, which technologies do you use? I assume a government politician (even for a very technical role) has little time for such things, so how do you stay up to date?
- audreyt 7y agoI still actively code. Most of the gov tech we deploy in Taiwan is based on civic tech, re-packaged to run on sandstorm.io (CodiMD is a good example). We also rely heavily on Pol.is and Rocket.chat. Other than that, a lot of it is just automating chores — booking my office hour appointments, maintaining sayit.pdis.nat.gov.tw (part of the radical transparency protocol visit.pdis.tw), etc. Non-work-related projects such as moedict.tw and Hackage/CPAN modules are mostly in maintenance mode, with occasional releases based on pull requests from the community.
- 7thaccount 7y agoThanks for the reply and best of luck in your endeavors! I've never been very good with Haskell, but I may jump into Perl6 (Raku) soon.
