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


 After having my time with the reading I got the opportunity to answer some of their questions I did to myself when I heard of this subject. First it was the doubt of How many compilers I will have to make in my future life?, now I know that the maybe I will never have to do another compiler, but that I have to pay more attention into the problems and learn about the solution in a more modular way. Looking for the problems like this even outside the subject is a very good philosophy for any life. You are basically just taking all of the huge problems and solving them in small parts just as the programming advices always tells you.

One of the examples that remberme something is the translator of Latex into html because somehow remembers me the tool web of symbolab, when I need to make some math notes or I have math homework I use symbolab tool as GUI for making my matrix and just having to Ctr+c in order to get the Latex commands and export them to my document.

From the text I will remember the phases for making a compiler that are:

  • Lexical Analysis
  • Semantic Analysis
  • Code generation
  • Code optimization
These on are pretty good explained an in a way these seems a little bit easy but at the end some implementations are one that may have their complexity when I get the chance to implement them, From these phases the one that I always have issues is the Code optimization because the optimization I thinks is so relative and in some times this part always become so  competitive between the team.

This reading gave me the chance to see all of the things i can still learn or to improve, It still is going to be a challenge but also help me see why we can take this subject as a las subject exam but create a new doubt about how is going to be the legendary final exam.

Introducción

Hello! My name is Hector Hernandez, I am 21 years old and in september I am going to turn 22, even do I taking Compiler design this semester, my graduation date is in the 2021, this is a little bit sad for me because this mean I didn't graduate on time but somehow I have faith that maybe next semester everything can get back to normal, I am excited to take the ceneval exam and also be able to make a reunion with all of my friends and family. My main hobby was to swim in the school pool but now in some way is to apply to a lot of jobs. I have a pretty good job in a pharmaceutic with a lot of benefits, even do i get the job its pretty difficult to take a job with less pay and benefits. My goal in this is to see how to get better in my communication skills and to finally find a job where I can say that I would rather choose this company because i have somo much to learn from them than this pharmaceutic where I am just in my confort zone. Another hobby that i can write about is the mob...

Lin Clark on WebAssembly

 I think is pretty good to have the web topic around another blog activity and well combined i think because the last semester I got the chance of talking the computational graphics subject and is was all focus on web development for 3d rendering and was very important because it's been a while since the browsers have access to the graphics card and indeed this been my first approach to the technology is as Lin mention where we have the structure as HTML,  design CSS and Javascript for the functionality. It was surprising  for me to see that this was first designed for PC because of the way we use JavaScript for games in the web and is an language that born just to be easy to understand leaving just a side the optimization. From the podcast i understand the benefits of the binary instructions provided by Web Assembly; It's design made for the portability and with targets of high level languages have the functionality of the deployment o client or server client.  When...

Ruby and the Interpreter Pattern

 In a way reading this text means to me a lot of responsibility, somehow I image that if I didn't understand anything was because I was not really paying attention to the class, or even if I didn't understand the meaning of all of this text the understanding of the next class will be limited. Just pint where am I in this topics, I got to known ruby when I was just beginning to look into the iOS developer dependencies where all of the Cocoa pods were written in Ruby. This one is the inly approach that I have gotten until know, but I have already heard from some classmates that we see this language in Software Architecture. First the reading mention the S-Expressions (SIF), a topic that I got the chance to understand it in the last semester maybe not as deep as in other semesters because of the migration to zoom classes where we lose like three weeks.  But the things I remember the most is the importance of their order in order to have the compiler working perfectly. And just as...
