    I worked with Ralph when he was at Brave. I fondly remember many long walks in downtown Vancouver with him, getting tea at Matchstick and chatting about Rust and privacy and ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics. I still can't believe this. Huge loss.

      rillian was so very helpful to me as an early engineer. I was trying to leverage Ghostscript libraries to format prescription labels for thermal printers - over serial or usb+serial connectors and using very questionable printers. It wasn't Ghostscript's problem but he was so kind in directing me to the right people to help and even following up to see if my problem was solved.

      RIP, Ralph.

        rillian was also instrumental in helping to integrate Rust into Chromium at Brave. I worked with him for a few years; since getting to know him, I started noticing his handle in the contributors list across a surprisingly diverse range of other open source projects. RIP, Ralph.
