About
Folkert
- Systems software engineer
- folkert@tweedegolf.com
Folkert is an expert in systems programming and holds a master's in Computer science. He has made major contributions to the creation of the friendly, fast, functional language called Roc - in fact, he has so far written about half of the code; He co-teaches (and co-creates) the university course teach-rs; And he is working on Rust implementations of the Network Time Protocol, ntpd-rs and zlib.
Difficult problems don't rattle him. In fact, we can rely on Folkert to face them head-on and produce solid implementations in remarkably little time.
In his spare time, Folkert often continues to work on languages (natural or other) and he likes to cook or spend time in the garden.

Abacus
Abacus is the new application (currently in development) to support the paper-based vote counting process for all Dutch election results and the distribution of seats.
It is being built open-source by the Dutch Electoral Council (Dutch: Kiesraad). Our engineers have joined the Electoral Council developer team for both frontend and backend development.

sequential-storage
A crate for storing data in flash memory with minimal need for erasing pages.
Used in many embedded Rust projects inside and outside of Tweede golf. It often replaces a traditional file system with its key-value map and fifo queue.

Statime
Statime is an initiative of Tweede golf, an open-source implementation of the Precision Time Protocol (PTP) in Rust.
High-precision timing is part of crucial networking infrastructure. With Statime we provide a memory-safe alternative for existing implementations.
The first milestones of the project were kindly co-funded by the NLnet Foundation.
Statime is part of Project Pendulum. In July of 2023 the Sovereign Tech Fund invested in Pendulum, securing development and maintenance in 2023, and maintenance and adoption work in 2024.
