About
Darius Blasband was born in 1965 and has a master’s degree as well as a PhD from the Université Libre de Bruxelles. He focuses on legacy modernization, articulated around compilers for legacy languages. Darius is the founder and CEO of Raincode (http://www.raincode.com), main designer and implementer of its core technologies including the YAFL programming language. He is the author of “The Rise and Fall of Software Recipes” (ISBN-13 : 978-9490783426), ) and “Dear Andrea, Letters To a Young Coder”, (ISBN: 978-9490783549). Together with Jan Vitek, he is the co-host of the podcast “We Speak Your Language”. This pointless blah-blah can go on for pages, but essentially, Darius is a geek. Building software systems is what he likes best. After his family and at par with music.
