Hi, I'm lyxal. You probably already knew that. Here's some things you probably didn't already know (if you haven't read this paragraph before or been around me in SE chat):

• I'm a pro-tem moderator (♦) over on the Programming Language Design and Implementation StackExchange. If you need mod-help for that site, give me a ping in The Garbage Collector, the site's main chat room.
• I'm also a code golfer - it's what hooked me into sticking around SE and getting more involved than posting occasional answers on SO.
• As such, I've made a golfing language called Vyxal (original naming, I know, but I'm also a programmer cut me some slack naming things is hard). In a nutshell:

Vyxal is an stack-based esoteric array language that is dedicated to dominating competition in code golf challenges. This means that it strips away all need for boilerplate, long function names and impractical source layouts. However, it also has a more traditional and familiar way of expressing itself if needed.

• I'm currently in my 4th year of doing a Software Engineering degree, so that's something I'm doing with my life that isn't StackExchange.

• One might say that I am somewhat of a memes enthusiast. That one would be correct, because I have that skibidi ohio rizz that all the fanum taxers mew about. Enjoy your lost brain cells.

• I have a hobby of making AIs play chess when they really aren't designed to do so. Like that StackOverflow question formatting assistant thing. And v0 from Vercel. If you know of any other AIs that are jailbreakable and aren't designed to play chess (e.g. Fiverr neo - looking forward to getting my hands on that one), ping me in The Edge of Propinquity.

• Grammarly gave this bio a 🤓 emoji for tone. I don't know whether to be offended or to say to it "uhm ackshully you're the nerd".

pronouns: he/him

In summary, I actually said steamed hams. It's a regional dialect.
