about me
i am ilo Kali. i go by just Kali, however.
perhaps you know me through toki pona. perhaps you know me in real life. perhaps you know me elsewhere, such as through Desmos or OCaml. if you know me both online and in real life, i probably act somewhat differently.
when not using ChromeOS for school, i use Ubuntu 20.04 with i3 as the window manager. i have tried out other distros; so far, my favorite has been Fedora, although Void was quite nice too. if i had no need of modern internet usage, i would probably switch to Plan 9 (not a Linux, but the successor to Unix).
hobbies
i play video games upon occasion. Hollow Knight and Rain World are my absolute favorites. Baba is You is very fun, but can be quite puzzling at times. Noita, from the same developer as Baba is You, is a beautiful game and runs surprisingly well on low-end hardware. Untitled Goose Game is great for laughs but can get a little old after the first playthough. now that it has multiplayer the replay-ability is much higher, so that's nice.
i love programming in Lua, whether that be LuaJIT, Löve2d, PICO-8, or just plain-old Lua. i also love using OCaml, a powerful multi-paradigm functional programming language that inspired many features in Rust. (i do not like Rust, but i would assume mentioning a familiar language may spark interest in the reader). OCaml is also the only major language to feature algebraic effects at the moment which is a subject of interest for me.
my current interests involve the Bohlen-Pierce scale, the Icon programming language, नेपाली (Nepali), stenography, and music.
