I have a question here.. No one doubts the genius of fabrice bellard.. Someone in the thread rightly commented him as a polymath.. Fabrice sticks to C and loves the language to the core.. I often hear the FP folks saying that ppl who are inclined towards math love to program in lisp/scheme/haskell/clojure.. Fabrice Bellard being a math genius has no project written in any of these languages.. Why so? I understand it is personal taste but there got to be deep reason also


Several of his projects show he has an affection for applied number crunching and low-level programming. C lives right at the intersection of these domains.
