It's quite easy to find a picture of Xarn. Also, your opinion is wrong.

Hello, I am Xarn. I'm into all the hip things, like shitty fractal programs, Socialism, Anti-theism, Facebook, and pretending to be adequately trilingual. Please check out my blog so that I may whore myself yet more and lament about not being able to find employment because no one will hire someone who is unable to correctly use source control, MySQL, and system programming languages.
I can make sense of about a dozen more [languages].
Like most people, really. They should just stop immediately dismissing a foreign text as unreadable just because it's in a slightly different language than they know. FACT: If you know any Germanic language and can recognise Greek and Latin stems, you can make sense of many more languages.
< skampler> what is paws exactly? :)
< skampler> is paws a javascript re-implementation in javascript?
<+elliottcable> skampler: uh, programming language, fully async (the
first, I believe), heavily bootstrapped in libspace,
super-simple syntax, super-simple central concepts,
reference impl is in JavaScript and intended to run
equally well in the browser and on the serverside, uhhhhh…
<+elliottcable> did I miss anything, guys?
<@alexgordon> it's crazy
< skampler> okay!
<+elliottcable> skampler: nope, it’s an *entirely* new language. Bits were
inspired by JavaScript (as well as Io, Ruby, Python, and
Objective-C)… and I’m told the end product is semantically
similar to Lisp in some ways… but no, it’s not an
implementation of any existing language
<+inimino> man, that was surprisingly coherent
<+inimino> you should put that up somewhere and call it the home page

Twitter drama is even more tedious than IRC drama, but this elliott does look like an ass.
