I recently learned that Russ also wrote software for The On-Line Encyclopedia of Integer Sequences (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;oeis.org" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;oeis.org</a>) and is the president of the OEIS Foundation.

Russ also has a great blog, with the most recent entry on fast floating-point printing and parsing. I believe these performance improvements have landed in the latest version of Go.
