Why

Why we celebrate them.

Tim rewrote how Swift prints floating-point numbers so every value round-trips exactly and reads cleanly, a detail millions of developers benefit from without knowing it. Decades after creating libarchive, he is still doing foundational systems work, now inside the Swift runtime.
