Building Server-Side Web Language Processors

 The 'Building Server-Side Web Language Processors' helped me to understand the relevance of the web approach in subjects that involve language designs and implementation, the fact that both topics are related creates a complete and rich environment, and of course the recent boom of web involvement in almost anything that is software-related, the cloud, the IOT, everything that is automated nowadays is somehow related to web matters, and I found that extremely interesting.

Although, being honest, web development is an extremely over saturated market, it is still very interesting, the possibilities we have today to do things on the web that makes our life easier are almost infinite, the evolution of software has been very clear, but, the fact that the market is rising, also means that our abilities should be even better now, a simple mistake could leave thousands of people with a very bad experience, imagine if amazon would somehow stop working during black Friday?.

Mounting a compiler on a web server is very interesting, although now you not only need to worry about the efficiency of the compiler per se, but also the efficiency of the server and the connections equally, but of course, a well structured code should work.

I believe it would be much more functional and exciting to have the compiler on a server other than only on the console, and of course, that could even make it much more useful (apparently), and this of course make things only more interesting, knowing that the possibilities are almost not finite.

Finally, I really enjoyed the article, and I would have liked to have the time to make the compiler web based, of course, I do understand the amount of time and work that is needed to create a compiler like this, and the reasons why only one 6 months course might not be enough.

I think it is very fascinating as there are many possibilities to implement it on a web server, even though

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

 This particular article changed my compiler perspective in a real ideal way (the perspective not only of the subject but of a compiler in general), I never really fully understand the main purpose of the subject, and the fact that it is considered the hardest one (in terms of programming) and it has changed my perspective due to the fact that it shows how we probably would never need to actually create or develop a new compiler (or compiler in general), but instead the course show us how to manage certain deep level problems that would remain hidden otherwise. In general, the course is designed to help us analyze and structure common problems that we might have to face in the future. The thing that really caught my attention is the abstraction way to see the things and how that could help us to solve problems, the idea behind this statement is to always try to see the problem as abstract as possible, and that could help us to understand the problem on a simpler and modular way which i

Mother of Compilers

  Women in technology has always been a very complicated topic, it is typical to see women outstand in many fields, but for some reason, their interest in technology related fields seems to be non existent, this is why this subject has been so interesting, I believe the fact that many complex cases have been solved by women is very interesting, and left me questioning how much better it could be if more women start selecting IT related careers. In the last decades, most of the news reflected only the part of the work that involve men, this left an stereotype that states that only men can achieve success in a technological career, which is entirely not true, the problem is, the stereotype has already done serious damage and this reflects directly in the amount of women studying IT or engineering related careers, although, nowadays there has been a lot of efforts to try and eliminate this stereotype and have more women to select this type of careers. I found Grace Hopper as a true inspir

Ruby and the Interpreter Pattern

  This article was very interesting, specially after the programming languages course, first of all,  the S-expression Interpreter Framework (SIF) is presented as a tool for teaching Language design and implementation. As mentioned at the end of the text, this is taught in the last four weeks of the programming languages ​​course, of course, this fact makes thing a lot more understandable, and after reading it I felt very grateful for having the opportunity to at least understand the way things work. This framework is written in Ruby, which makes thing more interesting since it is a very flexible language and allow many possibilities.  One of the most interesting facts of the framework is the idea of being so flexible that it can be extended to satisfy almost any need, functional languages, imperative programming, etc. Almost anything can be achieved by this and by extending the framework, this of course creates a very versatile environment. And also something interesting to me is the
