Mayer Goldberg's Homepage (מֵאִיר גּוֹלְדְּבֵּרְג)
Table of Contents
Everybody seems to understand that astronomers do astronomy because astronomy is interesting. Why don't they understand that I do computer science because computer science is interesting? And that I'd do it regardless of whether or not it made money for anybody?

6. This website has a seriously drab look, that was outdated already back in the 1990's…!
- While the look is drab, mainly because I know very little about graphical design
- The website is generated from org-mode in GNU Emacs
- Org-mode is powerful, and I've added support in GNU Emacs for typing in languages many languages (संस्कृतभाषा नूनम् रुचिरा भाषा अस्ति ।), so the combination of left-to-right language and שָׂפוֹת שֶׁנִּכְתָּבוֹת מִיָּמִין לִשְׂמֹאל, או كِتَابَتْهَا مِن الْيَمِين إلَى الْيَسَار is accomplished simply and accurately
- The website is currently (as of 2025) being updated rapidly, and more material is added weekly
So please give the website a second look… ☺
