About
Greetings! I'm William Gilreath
(he/him/his)
I am a multifaceted senior software engineer, computer scientist,
mathematician, poet, writer, and lover of cats.
I love working with software developing, testing, writing, and
analyzing source code. In my spare time, I write both code and
technical articles, and narrative prose: novels, short stories, book
chapters, and poetry.
I am showcasing some of the algorithms, code, programming languages,
research papers, and web apps I have created, written, and
published.
I am currently a Senior Member of Technical Staff (Senior MTS) at
VMware, Inc. located in
Palo Alto, California working with software development for Hyper Converged
Infrastructure (HCI).
Blog
I have an inactive blog about my technical dabbling and other
things...entitled Much Ado About Nothing where I
write about this, that, and the other, but not of late. Note that I
am not on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, MySpace, and other
social media too much melodrama, and I do not want my personal life
(and personal data, information) on the Internet.
ZeptoN
My current technical project is a new programming language "ZeptoN" from "zepto" + "N". A small
programming language (zepto- is a factor of 10-21) that is
the Nth programming language (as programming languages go from 1 to
N) where this is the Nth programming language.
The ZeptoN whitepaper [ epub |
pdf ]
describes the ZeptoN language, its goals, and gives many examples
with output to illustrate the ZeptoN programming language.
ZeptoN extends Java by adding a program entity "prog" construct like
a class (without the object-oriented trimmings), with an implicit
program entry point as a block. Yet ZeptoN is completely Java
syntax and concept compatible. ZeptoN puts the program back into Java
programming!
ZeptoN is now available on my GitHub repo
for download, or the GitHub page. This is the ZeptoN "Echo"
transcompiler which transpiles to Java, and then uses the Java
Compiler API to build a Java bytecode .class file.
I have had an article about ZeptoN published on JavaCodeGeeks describing
extending the language.
ZeptoN Code Example...
prog helloWorld {
begin
printf("Hello, World!!!");
println();
exit(0);
}//end prog helloWorld
I am developing and tinkering with Zeptor (ZEPtoN code ediTOR) a
source code editor, with integrated ZeptoN transcompiler a basic
ZeptoN integrated development environment. Here is a
Youtube!
video (with accompanying Zither music from the classic movie
"The
Third Man" playing as various ZeptoN programs are opened, compiled, and
run. Check it out! And if interested, I'm looking for those
interested in trying out ZeptoN using Zeptor.

Source Code
-
ZeptoN - the ZeptoN Echo
transcompiler, both source code and a Java binary, for the ZeptoN
programming language.
-
WEJAC - Will's Elided Java Api
Compiler, a javac alternative that has simpler and fewer
command-line options. The user manual for WEJAC is available as
an e-book on Smashwords in
various formats.
-
DBXShell - the DropBoX shell
connects to a DropBox storage
account, and perform file and folder operations in
command-line interface client.
-
Boz - compiler for
a programming language "Boz" (a pen name of Charles Dickens)
developed using JavaCC .
-
Hash Sort - sorting
by hashing into a matrix.
-
XML Tokenizer - XML
tokenization into tags, attributes, text, for an XML token
stream.
-
Binar Shuffle/Sort
- shuffle (unsorting) and sorting by using bits of binary datum.
-
FunCL - (rhymes with "uncle")
interpreter for the FUNctor Clause Language, a functional style
programming language that is both like Forth and LISP but without
the reverse Polish notation or parenthesis.
FunCL Code Example...
DEF HELLOWORLD
PUSH EOLN PUSH
"Hello World!!!" ECHO ECHO .
HELLOWORLD
