The Promises of Functional Programming

There is a bunch of taste when we talk about programming languages, some of them are meant for some problem solving and some of them are not, depends on the structure of the language and how this feature gives us an approach to resolve the problem. In the article, it mentions about functional programming, with gives certain features to make the solution performance even better, such as parallel programming. Another feature that is interesting is the data types that exists in certain programming languages, it depends in how the data is stored. Through evolution (in a technology way) improvements will be made, some traditional point of view of solving problems will be obsolete, it the matter of viewing the different approaches to solve certain problems. Some structure of thinking defined the abstraction on how we see the problem solved, but with functional programming these paradigms could be overturned.

Functional programming has revolutionize the entire world, with new solutions to our daily problems, complexity has being deformed and the way we see our surroundings has changed.

At the end, everything we create is a perspective on how we perceive the world, the creation of newer languages will be continuous, but how languages had change, with new creations, new perspective should come.

Knowledge will teach us how to live.

I wonder how the evolution of programming languages will come, and the different approaches we will have, how many languages will be in the future, how will be our point of view, and would programming languages change how we perceive the world. It comes to my mind the 5 postulate of Euclid, which was very controversial in his own way, which gave birth to no-Euclidean geometry. Which is the postulate 5 of programming languages and how it could give birth to a new whole universe?

The Roots of Lisp

T hinking about a perfect structure for a perfect environment, each symbol representing many possibilities, each key has it’s own purpose and behavior in that context. The only limitations is the scope of the created structures. Lisp had defined a style in programming, with new possibilities for problem solving that takes the programmer out of the box, and brings a new point of view. But finally it is only an interpretation, a translation between human and machine, we may give sense to our perception by the usage of language and writing, this perception can be very complex or very simple, it can always depend on the observer and the given context… for example hardware, only understands voltage, the abstraction of a programming language goes into the process of becoming machine language, which are kind of voltage instructions for the millions of transistors inside a CPU, programming language has been limited by this context, the limitations are hardware dependent. New approaches with...

The Secret History of Women in Coding

Programming existed more that it could be ever imaged, that historical procedure, the combination of metal such as hardware and digits such as software, merged into one environment, at first that segmentation between hardware and software was notorious, by women being more likely to be programmers than men, but now a days this premise changes almost completely. There is often that question that pops out, why the differentiation, speaking of the treatment women had to endure through the whole human existence. The article titled The Secret History of Women in Coding mentions that out, there still exists sexism and discrimination, in this case in the environment of computer science. It had been very difficult to acknowledge the brilliant female minds that made extraordinary creations and gave birth to a whole new world of possibilities. Programming is label free, “the computer doesn’t even care if the programmer is female or black...” what ever race or ideology the programmer has. As a ...
