chay' let spanish jatlh

I have always been into languages, and that's maybe I'm studying this career. As I've been learning to program, I've noticed that there are many elements similar between each other, but also, specific differences that make an advantage.

The text reminded me of a song called "Qué dificil es hablar el español", where two guys show the differences and similarities between some Spanish speakers countries.  I think that this is almost the same problem that programming languages live, where people who use them try to set them as the most popular or important against others.

Personally speaking I think that all languages have their beauty and their characteristics, such as  Spanish, where some words make a phrase sound spectacular. Also, it is important to mention that each language might be easier to teach rather than others, so the programming community might grow up because of this.

I know that programming languages have really grown up, but some of them are just for fun, such as emoji language and slang language. This kind of programming languages might be fun to know but the use of them is limited, and this might be an inconvenience when using them.

There is a ranking known of which programming languages are "in" or used more, so a programmer can focus on which to use or learn. I consider this element mixed with the objective of what you try to do would be the best way to select a programming language.

Finally, I consider that we should not try to do more programming languages,  but to make the now existent better, useful and knowable. This is due to the fact that some programming languages are "old" and people would not use them or learn them. An example of this is COBOL, a language used by banks but known by such a little group of people.

The ultimate weapon.

As programmers, we have a limited language and an objective to create great things.  I consider that wee needs to understand that in comparison to other careers we have something established and that needs to be understandable to everyone else without rodeos.  Up to this moment at the University we have been taught many programming languages, the way to use them, the internationality that they have and the many ways we can use to solve a problem. We are the society of limited language but great imagination. There are some good practices that as developers we need to follow, such as making the code as understandable as possible, to generate the documentation, to describe what we are doing and so on, so that people who read our code can easily understand it and make the proper changes in the correct time. But sometimes, people do not understand it and generate the code as hard as they can, so that their ideas cannot be stolen.  The problem with developers who do this is that the li

This is a man's world,but it wouldn't be nothing, nothing without a woman

All my life I've been compared to my brother and since I remember this has been a problem in my anxiety. Anyway, this way of living made that I developed an interest in the STEM areas.  In this case, I felt that's many fragments in the reading became part of my everyday thoughts. In this case, what we can remember about history is that it is been told by the winners or the people in power,  and normally in a patriarchal way of living sometimes women get erased in this story. That was the case of many women in many different areas, companies, and countries. Anyway, they have been moments in history that women had to take some jobs even though they were not prepared for them (or society).  That' was the case of many well-known programmers and generations of women who had to work in these areas. I consider that  this  is also seen in a country that had participated actively in  the development  of new technology and  in some specific moment in history.   I think that

But Mom, I just want to be Popular

This podcast was about the way Clojure was developing. I consider that the way Rich Hickey explains it is quite simple and tries to convince the audience that this programming language and way of programming is quite good, useful and simple. In this case, he explains since the use of Lisp, and how it was really popular in the 1970s,  but as computers become more complex, could do more with less and requiring more complex programs the multiparadigm languages lost the battle. Anyway, he tries to expose the way he and the java developers try to make a great comeback with this programming language. This is due to the fact that it got advantages and some other applications among some programming languages. In this case, I can compare this programming language with Mathematica, a programming language (that people consider software to compute math problems)  that can do as much as Clojure can, but with the limitations that you should understand the way the math works and the way the comp
