Dick Gabriel on Lisp

This essay is about a podcast made by Dick Gabriel, in which the main subject is the programming language called Lisp. Despite of my few knowledge of this programming language, i think Lisp is a very useful and interesting language, which will increase my abilities in coding. Before this, he explained that he studied artificial life, mathematics and poetry on Stanford, this developed in him an interest in the programming language Lips, because this language creates code with code, which is a very interesting and useful functionality. Dick Gabriel has a very impressive curriculum so he deserves to be take serious in subjects as computer science in specific his areas of expertise which are artificial life and maths. Another curious fact about Lisp is that it was the very first language in develop a garbage collector which allows programmers to develop code faster and better. In my own opinion i think this was a very big step in computer science, because of this now people with

The Semicolon Wars

The Semicolon Wars As the author tried to explain at the beginning of his paper, scientists have worked hard to find the "perfect" programming language that describes a problem or a data structure in the best possible way. Given this goal, an endless war has developed in decide which programming language best fits this goal. Which the author considers an unnecessary and ridiculous fight. On the other hand I consider that the programming languages ​​are evolving each one of them to achieve this programming language "perfect" although we can not deny that each of these programming languages ​​are different from each others because they can solve in different ways different problems, although, each one provides advantages and disadvantages. Later in the paper, the author suggests that all programming languages ​​have the same computational power, so that the fight is really in deciding which allows you to express your algorithm, to clarify this, begins to compare

About me

Mi name is Josep Romagosa, I really dont know what expect about this course, although, it looks like a very intersisting subject. One of the areas in my career that most find intersting is Web development, so I hope can get as much information as i can of this class. About me... I love performing arts, theater, dance, concerts, etc. I am in the theater group, and in the student group Catarsis. Also in my spare time I love watching movies, my genre is the dramatic piece. As for literature, I like to read books, but I can not find time to devote to reading, among my favorite books is Don Quixote (Miguel de Cervantes), and Colorin Colorado (Odin Dupeyron).
