Marijn Haverbeke 'spricht' mit Begeisterung zahlreiche unterschiedliche Programmiersprachen. Sein Weg führte von trivialen BASIC-Spielen auf dem Commodore über die C++-Phase in die Gegenwart, in der er sich vor allem mit Datanbank-Systemen und WEB-APIs von dynamischen Sprachen beschäftigt. Er entwickelte und unterhält eine Reihe von bekannten Open-Source-Projekten.
