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.  

Another thing to mention is that we need to understand the way this works and how it is vulnerable to other's. In this case we tend to seek for security for the language  and for what we do. We can do something more when we create a compiler rather than we use JVM. We can do something for the inside  and to protect what we do  rather to take for advantage that someone else will do it for me.

Another thing we need to understand is that  a JVM will generate an app that will be stable since the creation of it, in comparison to a complier. In this case a compiler seeks for understand  what the user will do  and what does it needs. And we need to take into consideration that we need to understand how it will be read and understand by the computer. We create the rules before we can even do something.

Finally I consider that it is important for us to understand the way we need to compute an activity by the rules we want before we even understand and can create something like an app or a service. We need to understand that a compiler is not what we are used to create, but it is important for us to understand what we can do in a computer and on the operating system. We are used to create  things on something but not that something.

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 Russ

More than machine language

Sometimes programmers see other classes such as Software Architecture, FIS, and Compiler Design as something they need just to complete all the credits for them to graduate. This could generate a problem for teachers due to the fact that they are just focused on passing rather than learning the important stuff on each class. In this case, the reading was about what else we could learn from this class besides the way we can build a compiler ( that we know that it would be so hard that we need to build it). Personally, I consider that these ideas should be something that we apply to classes rather than just learning what we are supposed to. This is due to the fact that Computer Science is an area where there are many things we can do rather than just programming.  As someone who is not really interested in programming, this kind of ideas is important because I think that all classes can give you something else to learn besides the topics we are supposed to learn.  I consider tha

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
