The hundred year language

This week's blog is about the article titled  "The Hundred-Year Language" written by Paul Graham. This article explains and bases on the principle that everything around us is evolving, mainly technology. Nowadays technology has redesigned our day by day lives. Technology has changed so more of our lives that now we don't even notice how tied nd useful these are for us. Computers used to be huge and not being able to be transported from one way to another. Now they can even fit our right hand pocket. This evolutionary rate is amazing, since I am talking about no more than 25 years ago. We think everything now evolves this fast, but what about programming languages? Do they also evolve as fast?

Well the answer is that no, some things have been left out, such as programming languages. Paul Graham tells us that programming languages have not evolved in the same pace as technology because programming languages are not technology, technically. There are mathematics and they have the pace of evolution of them and well the most important thing to know about this is that we have to adapt to the changes in languages and try to be prepared to use each and every one of them because at the end all of these are tools which will help us achieve more things in programming and overall to be better programmers. Paul Graham states that a programming language is a dialect, not technology, and people have to adapt to the use of it. You can't just relearn a programming language in no time. You have to learn, and then also make some judgements, some programming languages are left out because they become unefficient or not worth the shot to learn.

Ruby and the Interpreter Pattern

This entry is from an article called “Language Design and Implementation using Ruby and the Interpreter Pattern”, written by one of our best teachers called Ariel Ortiz. The article talks about an implementation he made to evaluate different LISP expressions that are given as strings using a framework called S-Expression Interpreter Framework. The framework is a Digital Subscriber Line (DSL), it uses the Ruby language and allows us to build S-Expressions (for example Clojure, LISP) by the implementation of the interpreter pattern. The basic principle of the interpreter pattern is that some problems are solved far more easily by creating a specialized language to solve it, and then expressing the obtained solution in that language, interpreters are known to have two phases, the first phase is the one in which the parser reads in the program text, then it produces a data structure that is called an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST Tree), in the second phase the obtained AST from the p

Technical Overview of the CLR

This last entry based on the article titled Technical Overview of the Common Language Runtime  written by Erik Meijer and Jim Miller. Basically what the authors do here is a comparison between Common Language Runtime (CLR) and the Java Virtual Machine (JVM). The CLR is basically a platform-independent development system which enables programs from different programming languages to be run on different types of hardware and it is composed by the Common Tape System and the Common Language Specification, after being written the applications written in CLR are compiled into Intermediate language and finally compiled into the hardware in which you want to run the code by the Common Language Runtime. In contrast, the JVM is an environment that is used to execute Java Programs, these programs are compiled into bytecode and then ran on any platform that has JVM installed. But, which one is better? And the answer is CLR, even though these two platforms are interesting and have their own str

Mother of compilers

This blog is about one of the most important women in computer science, her name was Rear Admiral Dr.  Grace Brewster Murray Hopper (AKA Amazing Grace). She is considered as a key element in computer science investigation because she was one of history's first computer programmers and also known as "the mother of compilers" because she built the first compiler ever. This is widely acknowledged cause as we know, building a compiler is a lot of work  Dr. Grace's als0 developed FLOW-MATIC and is the first English-like data processing language. This language makes it easier to build a compiler for another programming language o the root of programming languages tree, is the compiler that Grace built. Almost everything she made is an achievement and well if we think of the industry where she belonged, military and computer science, one can only imagine the difficulties that she faced into trying to fulfill her dreams and goals. Both industries were ruled by men an
