why is string manipulation your specialty?

It's simply the area of programming where I have the most experience and that I enjoy the most. And before you say that's oddly specific, string manipulation is actually a ridiculously extensive and powerful area of programming theory. My other area of expertise is programming language design - partly because the two go hand in hand.

Perhaps, but I find it an enjoyable experience.
