My entries for the esolangs code guessing challenges

Hey all! ✨

I'm Olivia (or RocketRace), a Finnish student of computer sciences. In my free time, I dive head-first into esoteric software. I believe that programming can be a form of artistic expression which brings out the untapped potential in "unconventional" code. I strive for my projects to raise questions not asked before, or to cross the boundary of what is considered "realistic". Below are a few of my ventures!

Link	Project
unibitmap	Cyclic conversions between colored images and executable ASCII+ art
BaDSV	A family of nondeterministic CSV-like file formats exploiting invalid byte sequences in UTF-8 (et. al)
custom-literals	A pure-Python implementation of C++'s user-defined literals (UDLs) enabling code like "foo".u in your Python scripts
ti	A terminal pixel rendering framework aimed at tiny interactive scripts
SetVer	Setaceous Versioning, a radical new versioning scheme based on set theory
easy_z3	A declarative interface for the Z3 constraint solver (ab)using Python's metaclasses
hoopy	Implementing custom operators and Haskell syntax inside Python
heckorator	Making Python's decorators massively more readable ;)

I've also designed many esoteric programming languages, such as Zirconium (in which you control a drone network), 5D Brainf*ck With Multiverse Time Travel (an extension of the famous esolang), or Babalang (a tribute to Baba Is You). Other major projects of mine include various Discord bots such as robot-is-you, also based around Baba Is You.

Given my experience in programming language design and implementations, I'm also a polyglot! I pick up languages with ease. My current languages include Python, Rust, Typescript/Javascript (Vanilla / React), Scala, Elm, APL (Dyalog), Kotlin, C, C++, Haskell. I'm also interested in developing using Elixir, Swift, Svelte, or other languages / frameworks new to me. I pick them up quickly :)
