Lennart Augustsson

Lennart Augustsson is a Swedish computer scientist. He was previously a lecturer at the Computing Science Department at Chalmers University of Technology. His research field is functional programming and implementations of functional languages.^[1]

Augustsson has worked for Carlstedt Research and Technology, Sandburst, and Credit Suisse and is currently employed by Standard Chartered Bank.^[2]

Augustsson is the author of:

The Cayenne programming language.^[3]
The HBC Haskell compiler.^[4]
Several hardware device drivers for NetBSD.^[5]
The front end of the pH compiler (parallel Haskell) from MIT.^[6]
The initial version of the Bluespec compiler.^[7]

He was also a co-developer, with Thomas Johnsson, of Lazy ML.^[8]

Augustsson was intimately involved in early LPMud development, both in the LPMUD driver and the CD mudlib. His MUD community pseudonym is Marvin.^[9]

Augustsson has written three winning entries in the International Obfuscated C Code Contest:

1985: Most obscure program (1985/august.c)
1986: Best complex task done in a complex way (1986/august.c)
1996: Best of Show (1996/august.c)
