The hundred year language

I found this article quite interesting. I like how the author starts with an introduction thinking about how some things would be in the future. Things of everyday life. And from there he starts asking the same thing, but now related to programming issues, software and programming languages. I like that the author talks about how programming languages were before, that some were used less and less because they were creating others easier to use and understand for the developer. One of the languages that makes a lot of emphasis is Java, thinks that its existence in the future will be limited, which will be replaced by other more logical and much more effective, although many people think that in the future will be more successful than it already has today. One thing that is certain is that the execution of programs will be much faster, and that this can be achieved through layered programming. He says that in the future we are going to be much more focused on logic rather than

Making Compiler Design Relevant for Students who will (Most Likely) Never Design a Compiler

Personally, I really liked this article because it talks about the compilation from an introduction and then it talks about more details of this subject. One of the things I liked the most was that they gave some examples about translation. It was interesting because I didn't know what "LaTeX" meant. Besides, these examples were very well represented through Contex-free grammars. During my exchange program in the United States, I had the opportunity to take a subject related to compilers. There I learned the phases of compilation and was able to work in a practical way on the first three. Therefore, at the time of reading the third point of this article, it was easy for me to understand, since I had the concept and definition of the phases. Something I think was missing in this article was to put a little more diagrams. I think it would have been very useful to put a "parse tree" because perhaps some students have not been able to see this type of diagrams, as

About me

Hello everyone. My name is Tomás Bravo, but I prefer you call me Tommy. I study computer science and this is my ninth semester. But I'll be graduating next semester because the previous one I went to an exchange program. I went to the US, Illinois to be more specific. This was the best experience I've ever had by so far. I had the opportunity to meet a lot of people from different countries: India, The Netherlands, Bangladesh, Colombia, Honduras, Japan, Russia and other countries. Talking about this course, Compiler design, at the end of the semester I expect to know everything related with compilers and I be able to create one by my own. My hobbies: dancing, playing videogames and swimming. Talking about music, I love electronic and urban music. Recently I haven't read a book, buy I love watching "Master chef" on the TV. And my favorite movie is Pirates of the Caribbean.
