Clojure

This article was a good review of somethings we already have a notion of after using Clojure, I personally don’t see the big difference still vs and imperative programming, surely it is because all we have done are simple short programs that Clojure excels at, probably longer more complex programs will have a steeper learning curve or be more awkward for the lack of variables but until now is not so different from the first time we saw recursion in object oriented.  The thing that most captured my attention was the last paragraph of the article, I had expectations of a highly parallelizable automatic language, from the way functional programming worked it seemed to me to be the case, but I didn’t consider what was mentioned through the lecture and picked up at the end, the code at the end must be translated to a imperative language because that's how machines work, at the end of the day the language is an advantage in lines of code or simplicity of the program, but most likely face

Semicolon wars

 Leaving your language is not a thing most people do, even if you travel or live in other country different from the one you were born you tend to still speak your language make friends with people who think like you and speak like you,i think this extends to programming languages, abandoning all that is hard and I would argue has no point, the love and the knowledge of a language in my opinion does not hinder your ability to learn or even love a new one, I would think it complements you, it makes it easier to do something you are too lazy to do in your native language, I like the diversity at the end of the day there are languages in which most of us can coincide, whit most of the people you know there is a language you share.  Most of the languages are pretty niche, born from someone who though something could be easier if it was made a certain way and most of the time they fulfill the purpose they were made for, there is no real problem at he end of the day the languages adapt to th
