Founder of WhispHub. I build programming languages and distributed systems in Rust β mostly to understand how they work.
A DESU in Data Science freshly in hand (Aix-Marseille School of Economics), and currently learning to swim in the 42 piscine β curiosity does that to you. ππΌββοΈ
Around here, everything begins with a whisper.
I came to code from the other side of language β literature and grammar, the human kind. Somewhere between conjugation tables and my first compiler error, something clicked: a programming language is just another grammar, one where intent becomes action. So instead of only learning languages, I started building them.
That curiosity became whispem-lang, a small compiler that now compiles itself. Rust taught me how machines like to be spoken to; distributed systems, what happens when thousands of them talk at once; a data-science degree, how to listen when the data answers back. These days, the 42 piscine is teaching me humility β one segfault at a time.
The whisper follows me everywhere β whispem, WhispHub, sussurro β because it is the philosophy: good software doesn't shout. It stays small, legible, and honest about what it does β complexity earned, never hidden β built to be read, understood, and taken apart. And whispers carry further than you'd think: small ideas, big echoes.
Most of what I ship is open source. WhispHub is a hosted product I keep private β but everything else lives on GitHub, MIT-licensed, built in public.
WhispHub is a social space for makers β a place where a project gets a living page, not just a code repo. Built solo over six months in Rust + Astro. Officially launched April 29, 2026.
Small ideas, big echoes.
- A full page per project β share the why, not just the code
- Hearts instead of stars β relational, not just a counter
- Echoes instead of forks β share the meaning, not duplicate the code
- Pulses instead of commits β capture the rhythm of your work over time
- Zero tracking, zero ads, GDPR by design β quiet by intention
The product is hosted at whisphub.dev β free for everyone. Read the full story on the About page.
whispem-lang is a small, self-hosted programming language. The compiler is written in Whispem itself and compiles itself, producing byte-identical output with the reference Rust implementation. It runs on a standalone C VM with no dependencies beyond a C compiler. Rust remains the reference implementation.
Whisper your intent. The machine listens.
- Self-hosted compiler β
compiler/wsc.wsp: 1724 lines of Whispem for the full pipeline. Source in,.whbcbytecode out β identical to Rust output. - Verified bootstrap β The compiler compiles itself. Both outputs share the same SHA-1, ensuring a stable fixed point.
- Standalone C VM β
vm/wvm.c: a single-file runtime (~2000 lines) with 34 opcodes, interactive REPL, and a--dumpdisassembler. - 204 tests, zero warnings β 153 Rust tests + 51 autonomous C VM tests with bootstrap verification.

cargo test # 153 Rust testssussurro.cpp is an offline voice-to-voice interpreter across English, Spanish, French and Italian β type or speak in one language, read or hear it in another. Neural machine translation built from scratch on ggml: no server, no network at runtime. Sussurro is Italian for whisper.
Whisper in one language. Listen in another.
- Marian / OPUS-MT reimplemented on ggml β encoderβdecoder Transformers with greedy & beam-search decoding, an incremental KV cache, and q8_0 / q4_0 / f16 weights.
- Twelve translation directions, no pivoting β one multilingual model for Romance β Romance, bilingual models for English β Romance.
- Voice in, voice out β speech-to-text via whisper.cpp, text-to-speech via sherpa-onnx with a Piper voice per language.
- Native desktop app β a Tauri v2 UI wrapping the whole pipeline; every stage also works from the CLI.
