Actually use his Tiny C Compiler, which I was surprised to learn still works under Windows 98. (At least the 32bit version.)

I think Fabrice is what is known as 10x engineer. They do exist.<p>There is not only depth but also breadth in the projects he has created.

amazing how young this guy is despite having done so much<p><i>In 1997, he discovered a new, faster formula to calculate single digits of pi in hexadecimal representation, known as Bellard&#x27;s formula. It is a variant of the Bailey–Borwein–Plouffe formula.</i><p>at only 25
