Autrijus Tang

Born in 1981, Autrijus Tang (唐宗漢) is a Taiwanese Free software programmer, best known as the leader of the Pugs project, a joint effort from Haskell and Perl communities to implement the Perl 6 language.

Tang is also known for various internationalization and localization work in Free Software programs, including Kwiki, RT and Slash, as well as heading Traditional Chinese translation efforts for various Open Source-related books.

On CPAN, Tang maintains over 100 Perl projects, including the popular Perl Archive Toolkit (PAR), a cross-platform packaging and deployment tool for Perl 5. Tang is also responsible for setting up smoke test and digital signature systems for CPAN.

Being a high-school dropout, Tang is a vocal proponent for autodidactism and individualist anarchism; this has attracted significant media coverage in the Chinese-speaking world.
