About Paul
I fell in love with programming at first sight in 1982 on an Apple ][+, and never looked back. I now teach computer science at Macalester College, do some freelance software dev at (mostly) Bust Out, and lead a secret double life as a composer/pianist. I love creating beautiful things, and sharing the beauty of creation with people of all kinds.
Coding, teaching, parenting, and playing keeps me busy and happy — but all that leaves very little time for tending to non-paying open source! Sponsorship helps me carve out OSS time.
About the Project
I’ll use this GitHub sponsorship primarily to work on Siesta. Its radical approach to consuming REST-shaped APIs has a transformative effect on app codebases, similar to the effect that frameworks like SwiftUI / Flutter / Vue have had on UI development.
👉 MVC : declarative rendering  ::  callback-based networking : Siesta 👈
Siesta could help a lot of developers out there delete a lot of code!
However, it needs time and attention, and it’s hard to give those to a non-paying project. Sponsoring me will help me prioritize Siesta, and help it grow to its revolutionary potential.
