Functional Programming: A present solution for future problems

If you read the past entry, you can be thinking by now that I will develop another sociological analysis. Nevertheless, Hinsen, K made such a concise and straight-forward article that the only thing I could add to its discussion is an objective opinion. The promises of functional programming, (2009) [1]   presents to the reader an easy-to-understand approach to one of the toughest, yet simple topics I've ever faced as a computer science student: Functional Programming. When I started to program back in 2018, I never imagined the different tastes of problem-solving strategies used in the technological industry. I was happy as ever solving problems with  Python's functions and thinking that my whole career would be about using these procedure differently to solve any kind of situations Nonetheless, I was brutally taught that I was wrong when I began to study the Object-Oriented programming paradigm... god those were really tough times. Classes, Objects, Inheritance, Relations. a

The semicolon wars or an engineering approach to communities?

Hayes, B. presents in his article: The Semicolon Wars (2006)  [1]   the forgotten relation between social and computer science's in such a relatable fashion that makes any developer, anthropologist, sociologist or philosopher take a laugh. But, how can these fields of study be linked? As you can assume from the title of this entry, the term community plays an important role in the understanding and interpretation of this article (not for nothing does the author explores this phenomenon the most throughout the lecture), and yet is discussed from a misconceived notion of the word.  In order to create an objective critique, lets start with the basics. A  community is defined as: ...the feeling and set of relationships among people .  [2] This implies that a community is not an idea, medium of interaction nor a programming language user base, but the homogeneous connection generated among species. Within the article, it is hinted that the identity feeling driven from using a specific t

About me

The COVID quarantine has proved to be one of the toughest situations ever suffered by mankind. Not only fear, injustice and chaos gained more control over our weak society, but also it was this panic and anxiety that made us forget who we really are. I agree with you, this may not be the kindest of introductions but it certainly helps me to contextualize the difficulty of this first entry.  Who am I? is a vast and philosophical question. However, nowadays immensity is bigger and it may seem that time isn't enough to really comprehend who a person is. For simplicity and familiarity, all I could tell you is a facebook-like description: I'm a 20-year-old male human who lives in Mexico and studies a Computer Science major at the same school as you (ITESM) . Nevertheless, specifications are not enough to summarize the complex representation of a human being. I'm a person who has its own hobbies and passions. For instance, I find video games and music (listening to as well as pl
