My name is Brian Connors, and I joined Esolang Wiki at the very end of 2009 after close to eight years away from the community. In the past, I was partially or wholly responsible for the following languages:


 * Magenta -- a pointlessly complicated and not particularly esoteric parody of the Ada language. It is essentially an extremely crufty modular procedural language with some oddball constructions for object orientation and concurrency.
 * var'aq -- a programming language based on the vocabulary, syntax, and in some places history of the official Klingon language from Star Trek. I wrote most of the spec, then helped write the interpreter with Chris Pressey (Chris did the parser logic, and I did most of the semantics), Mark Shoulson (from the Klingon Language Institute), and a cast of dozens of patch and idea contributors.
 * Waduzitdo -- I didn't write the current implementation or even create the language, but I did dig it out of the dustbin of history and inspire a Perl version.

I also contribute on the English Wikipedia and RationalWiki, though I don't wish to give away my identities on those sites.
