'''Raghu Ranganathan''', known by the username '''Razetime''', was a programmer involved in numerous array languages, and the code golf and esolang community. Ranganathan created resources to help users of APL, [[J]], [[BQN]], and [[ngn/k]], evaluated many other languages including [[Lil]] and [[Nial]]. He also worked with the golfing languages [[Jelly]] and Vyxal, among with many other golfing and esoteric languages. In June 2024, Ranganathan's father contacted the J community with the news that he had died by drowning, at the age of 22.<ref>lyxal.

Ranganathan's contributions include programming language documentation, and tooling such as text editor support. Having been introduced to APL by [[Adám Brudzewsky]] on the [[APL Orchard]], he created the APLgolf<ref>[https://razetime.github.io/APLgolf/ APLgolf]. Accessed 2024-06-30.</ref> interface to allow APL programmers to solve a code golf problem and then quickly generate a post showing the solution, and briefly worked with [[Dyalog Ltd.]] on a project concerning image metadata. An early adopter of [[BQN]], Ranganathan implemented [[wikipedia:VS Code|VS Code]] support and a Javascript highlighter for the language, and contributed the short help pages<ref>BQN website [https://mlochbaum.github.io/BQN/help/index.html REPL Help].</ref> featured on the language's website. Later he began working with [[K]], creating an extensive tutorial<ref>Razetime. [https://razetime.github.io/ngn-k-tutorial/ ngn/k tutorial]</ref> on [[ngn/k]], and the [https://k.miraheze.org/wiki/Main_Page K Wiki] following the design of the APL Wiki. He also made contributions to the [[J]] Playground during its development.
