Language as the Ultimate Weapon

The power of language and discourse was recognized during the last century, because not only George Orwell, also recognized the strength and ability of language, on the other hand, Michel Foucault, also raised the power of discourse provided by the institutions for the control of individuals. Recognizing that this form is correct, that it refers to language as a weapon of government, placed in the world of politics and the social, words and resources formulated, it is exactly that, the tools to achieve what you want and local way for politicians these are the tools for the revolted people. In order to answer the question that is asked, it is important to bear in mind that nowadays the data analysis is focused on the analysis of the data chains in order to obtain information, so it is necessary to understand that not only in words and Written oral language but that technology does not invade every day in a positive way as a negative, computers are fundamental tools for service, so fo

The Roots of Lisp

In this article we talk about the Lisp operators and how they make up into a powerful API, this paradigm consists of some built in functions that intend to make things easier, however, talking about the power of language as many things that language can become, list processing is very a powerful tool in the structure and syntax of Lisp given by the fact that everything in this paradigm is achieved by the processing of lists. Lisp programs are composed by something called s-expressions, which stands for symbolic expressions which are defined recursively, and consists of either a single “component” which is called “atom” in the strict definition, or it can also be a list, which can correspondingly be some other symbolic expressions. The main idea in this article rounds around the idea of lisp being so innovative for its time that it allowed to visualize the solutions for some problems in a completely different angle, which makes the process much more understandable,    compared to o

The Promises of Functional Programming

The article “The promises of functional programming” written by Konrad Hinsen highlights how software development has undergone significant advances as much as advances in technology and computational hardware, in the same way the article describes what is the essence of functional languages, what gives life and the reasons why they are created, in parallel it also explains the advantages of using it. The first feature to highlight functional programming is in the use of functions, since unlike the use of mathematical functions, the variables are not part of the functional programming paradigm which according to the article is the first surprise faced to the ones that are starting to use functional programing. One of the other features for the functional paradigm is the built-in fail safe mode against race conditions which is the lack of counter and side effects, and the possibility to define the language itself. Hand in hand with this change also highlights the difference in th
