Bio

[eltikia]

I read your bio on Twitter. Do the emojis have something in common with Perl?

[Stagyrite]

Indeed, those are a result of the following Raku program.

say "⬛" x 73 ~ (for 1..4 -> $i { "⚛" ~ "🍅" x $i }) ~ "👺" x 4;

⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⬛ ⚛ 🍅 ⚛ 🍅 🍅 ⚛ 🍅 🍅 🍅 ⚛ 🍅 🍅 🍅 🍅 👺 👺 👺 👺
Let's examine all the parts. First, it prints a black square emoji 73 times. The black or graphite colour should resemble GitHub. The graphite colour encourages writing, and I do mean programming by that. 73 is 80% of 91, and the total number of emoji characters is 91. The widely known 80-20 rule, or the Pareto Principle, was applied.
The second part contains a loop (for 1..4 -> $i { "⚛" ~ "🍅" x $i }). It produces a list of 4 atoms in 10 tomatoes. Note that the "tomato" word consists only of characters from the "atom" word. The idea is taken from a modern painting. Atom can mean atheism, and I read a lot about atheism.
The last part 👺 is a Japanese goblin. Together with the atom emoji, it can represent atheism. It also means fourfaced, as one can be doublefaced, triplefaced, or even fourfaced. This idea was taken from a discussion about a modern painting.
By not sticking to the constants, one can generate more bios. One last thing to do would be to remove the whitespaces.
A shortened version of this bio is available on all my GitHub pages. ⬛⚛🍅👺 works usually as a footer but also as a header in the case of my GitHub profile.
Let's consider an alternative bio with a different arrangement ⚛⬛👺🍅. Atom would stand for atheism and black square for GitHub and programming. The Japanese goblin would represent my version of the Perl 1 compiler and OpenRoguelike. The tomato would represent an interest in compilers that is quite the traditional one. A further compiler worth knowing is Perl 5 and I want to read in German about it.
