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 for. Personally, I am the kind of people who would need to understand and have really small research about it. I consider that It would have been nice to be taught in the podcast, because the audience might not be who they think. 

An important lesson of this podcast is the importance of the knowledge of each part of a computer, a tablet, a tv or even a refrigerator. Also, there is an important fact that we need to understand the way these components are useful for our needs and our ideas. Technology has evolved up to the point where we just need to tell them what we need and they answer us, and as students, we need to take advantage of that. Even though that we have all those advantages, we should really understand how does the basics work, and that is something that our professors are forgetting, due to the need of new technology, but we sometimes need the basics to make an improvement in those new technologies.

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. ...

What would you do in a hundred years?

When people normally think about a hundred years they might think that we are living in the jetsons tv show. In this case, we might think that there will be some flying cars and buildings will not be on Warth, but over the sky; robots will help us and that we will have spaceships that will turn to briefcases.  In this case,  what the reading is about, is what will happen in these cases, where we have more than enough processing power than we are supposed to do and what we will do as programmers.  Nowadays, we have been studying how to do the simplest programs, to understand the programming languages,  and as we've been going through the mayor,  we find out new ways to solve them using in a more efficient way our processing. What we have not been considering is that computer processing,  has been evolving and the way we program, the way computer understand us and the necessities that we need to solve. In this case,  we have been evolving from us...
