I haven't come across him. He may have preceeded my time and abilities at that time:). I hanged around in ceviz.net during middle school, I guess around 2008-2010. Before that I was to small to write code. My parents had bought me a Javascript book and teach yourself c++ from Herbert Schildt from a local bookstore. Javascript book was easy, C++ book was hard :). So I abandoned the book shortly after learning cin, cout, iostream and Ali was there to help me out write some programs. I still remember this. I had written a basic calculator in c++, insert number 1, insert operator, insert number 2 kind of something. Ali wrote to me why don't you write it so that it doesn't require you to enter seperate inputs. That question lingered on my mind for a long time and led me into learning about parsing and writing interpreters years later.
