Ruby and the Interpreter Pattern

It is very interesting using programming languages to create tools for learning or for proving certain relevant topics in programming languages, in this case SIF, S-Expression Interpreter Framework, which allows the programmer to create Language Design implementation, using interpreter pattern, and proving and knowing concepts which are interesting and important while talking about programming languages. This tool allows teaching about language design and implementation, and proving and using concepts such as stacks, queues, hash tables, regular expressions and context free grammars.

Sometimes programming languages can be used as a tool for teaching concepts previously presented in a practical way, sometimes certain functionality from some programming languages allows the expansion from its general scope, which allows the programmer expand their creativity in order to create new things.

Viewing examples, in a practical way, makes the reader more attracted to the topic and also encourages them to explore and create, which becomes the seed of discovery and astonishment.

How programming languages would look in the future, or maybe in the future the concept of programming languages may not exist, just several machines created to understand and getting the idea from common languages, like Spanish, English, German, and so on. Several instructions ambiguously determined that these machines could interpret and perform a specific task.

All this exercise is performed by a programmer or a group of programmers, I wonder how this can be automated with future technology, and how the future will be. New technologies, new necessities, there exist a vast universe of possibilities, which rises the intrigue and uncertainty.

Flexibility is defined by the constraints of the programming language, how new programming languages would look like and how may affect the future generations?

A thought can rise questions, evolving into definition of a concept, which will be constantly defined and developed, that can finally become a tool for knowledge and can become the expansion of out point of view.

The Hundred-Year Language

To binary expressions to a language that abstracts ideas and translates them into machine code. Different programming languages had been created in order to complete or satisfy certain tasks, the designs of new languages are being made and performed, as the time passes the evolution of language design are being performed by the community, more people are being involved into the creation, and modification of programming languages. It is a co-evolution, in order to create the hundred-year language, the hundred-year hardware must be created to, the way of the functionality of the hardware and software have to be precise, the interpretation of the language should generate the precise mathematical instructions. Maybe the hundred-year language will be an autonomous system which enriches it's vocabulary with the input of an user, or even with the input from the environment. The abstraction of the language will be limitless because it can be learned from it's usage, there is an imp

My first Post

Hello, my name is Siegfried, I have many hobbies such as playing basketball, playing the guitar, bicycle riding, painting and so on. I find fascinating learning new things every day, It quite amaze me the amount of information and interesting topics there are out there. For this course, Compiler Design I expect to get all what can I get from this course, I find this topic very interesting, because I have always wonder how someone does program a program that creates programs. And I always wanted to create my programming language from scratch, I want to create an interesting project with the knowledge I will gain in this course. My Hobbies as I mention before are the following: Painting Guitar Climbing Watching Movies Reading ... I cannot think of more hobbies.... My personal interests are: Quantum Computing Reverse Engineering  Nihilism Existentialism Currently I'm reading books related to Quantum Computer and Reverse Engineering, I have more in my to-read list bu
