Greetings, programs!

Hello everyone, my name is Ana Paula, but as I like to use pseudonyms in my blogs,  so my name here will be HAL.

I like programming classes, but I tend to have issues in those due to the fact that I have anxiety and I do like the things to work perfectly. Also, this is because I tend to compare myself to everyone else. Anyway, nowadays I know what I am capable of and that I have friends that support me and that asking the teacher for extra help is not bad. However, what I expect of this class is to pass it, becauseI know  that this class is hard  and   that  I need to program a lot to really understand it. 

What I like is music, reading, and dancing. You can see me every day with a book in my hands and my headphones in the other. My favorite book is "the stranger" by Albert Camus because I have always thought that I do not belong to. Lately I've been  reading classic books and some  about philosophy, and the  one that has catched my attention  is  " The Russian Revolution"  by Leon Trotsky. 

My favorite band is thirty seconds to Mars and many Mexican rock bands. I also play the guitar and people would think that I like to play that kind of songs. Nevertheless, I do like to play but old Mexican music such as boleros. Anyway, you can see me at many concerts just enjoying the way music flows.

Beside that cultural side that I have, I tend to watch movies and TV series with my mom, especially cooking ones and mistery. I'm a true fan of Master Chef,  and I laugh out loud  with these programs  due to the fact  that I know how to cook, and  that my grandfather  has taught me  to cook cakes and desserts.  The last ones we watched were "Sugar Rush", "One day at a Time" and "Mr. Robot". 

I hope that people would enjoy reading this blog and I hope they understand some of the references that I will use.

Everything is not Java

When we think about a way to create something that will run in every equipment we think of JVM. In this case, as programmers we tend to seek for something that will run in everything and in the easiest way.  The problem of this solution is that  the limitations of Java tend to be  useful for some basic problems but not for a compiler.  Why is that? A compiler is a machine that can change many things inside the computer. This means that what we are creating is a bridge between the computer and the human language that we are using.  This bridge tends to have many characteristics that depend on the use that we are gonna give it to.  One of the main characteristics of this bridge is imthat we can choose between the numbers that the computer will have  to understand such as hexa, binary or even octal. These points are important to mention due to the fact that we will need to understand what we are doing and how much presition  we need to have. ...

Outside the realm of emoticons, parentheses always come in pairs.

As far as we have been taught, there are many ways to make a computer understand us. Depending on those, there might be a little easier or harder for us to understand it. A clear example of that was the first time we saw a SIF language, clojure. In this case, and as not a very good programmer it was kind of hard to really understand what we were doing due to the fact that parentheses separate our elements and the order of elements really care. I mean, when we program, sometime we forget that something will process it and how we think about it will define how long it will take and what answer will give, just when we get the correct answer we are happy. That case is not the ideal one because we tend to look for answers and not to really understand what we are doing. In  the case of SIF, I personally think that we need first to understand what we are doing before proceeding.  This is due to the fact that we are not used to think like that,  first the simbol, then the values...

There are many steps to build something to hold everything.

Nowadays there are many kinds of computers, or wannabe computers, where people do what they need in any place and without the need to be connected to wires.  As this kind of technology has been evolving, the need for creating new programming languages that can help to create whatever we desire of we think that people will use.  Considering that, we cannot just create a programming language, or tell the computer I just want to create a new language that can fullfill these necessities.  But we need to create a whole system that can support the programming language and can change the steps that we are creating to change everything to computer language.  In this case, it is important to mention that the level of the chat that we have heard, is in a higher level, and as computer science students we need to understand the slang and what they are talking about. Anyway, we need to consider that people might not really understand what a GNU  and a GCC are f...
