| summary | David Eppstein is a renowned computer scientist and author who has contributed significantly to the field through his creations. He is best known for developing the Twitterbot "everyword," which generates poetry by analyzing linguistic features from over two million lines of public domain poetry, tracing connections between similar lines.
In addition, David co-authored a book titled "Articulations," comprising generative poems produced by an algorithm that extracts and interlinks linguistic elements from the poetic corpus.
Beyond literature, David has been instrumental in creating notable esolangs (esoteric programming languages), such as Chef and Piet. These languages express code within other rule-based systems, offering unique approaches to programming. Furthermore, he developed Whenever, a language that challenges conventional control structures of coding by redefining how code is managed. |
