I will eventually be updating this page to include more information about my software and projects. For now, here are a few details about some items of interest:

Scripts and hacks

• reblog, a feed reposter.
• WHATEVER is Will's Hastily-Assembled Toolkit for Experimental Validation, Execution, and Recording.
• samplesink, a generic C++ class for estimating mean and variance parameters for (potentially very large) streams of samples.
• mazegen, a simple script to generate PDF files of random mazes. (Mazegen is also available as a RubyGem.)

Frameworks and larger tools

• DIMPLE, a declarative analysis framework for Java programs.
• capricious, a framework for repeatable randomness including a family of pseudorandom number generators and several probability distribution simulators. (capricious is also available as a RubyGem.)
• SPQR, a framework that dramatically simplifies the process of developing QMF agent applications in Ruby. SPQR also works well with Rhubarb, a mixin that allows developers to creating classes whose instances persist to a SQLite database; this post contains some examples of both in action. (Thanks to my colleague William Henry for the "rhubarb" name.)

Other projects

• I added support for querying and writing Java 5 annotations to the Soot compiler framework; my patch was accepted into Soot version 2.3.0.
• I contributed some (very minor) fixes for running the Yap prolog system as a 64-bit application on OS X.
• I maintain a directory of research compilers and tools for programming languages research.
• I keep some interesting code snippets and trivial scripts on gist.
