First of all, my name is José Pablo, not Juan Pablo. I just wanted to let you know that because 1/3 of the times that get to know somebody, they'll call me Juan Pablo.

I expect to increase my programming skills by solving new and challenging problems.

When I'm not coding or doing something related to computer systems I really enjoy photography, cinema and going to art exhibitions.

Speaking of movies... one that got my attention is The house that Jack built from the Danish director, Lars von Trier. This movie may not be for everyone. 155 minutes of explicit violence and murder scenes that will leave you without appetite for a full day. Having said that, if you are brave enough to watch it, you'll find that Lars makes reference from the Divine Comedy at the end of the movie.

Let's talk about Lisp

Choose one (1) option: a) Facebook vs Google b) Super Bowl LIII c) LISP Well, if you read the title, you probably chose the correct option. Not Java, not Python or even Swift, this time i'll talk about Lisp. But, why did I choose it? Just because I recently listened a podcast on my free time, and as you may guess, it was about Lisp. So get yourself prepared, because i'll compress 60 minutes of talking into a short, but complete, post. Anyway, without further ado, let me turn to the matter in hand. The story from Lisp goes back to the mid 1950s, when John McCarthy, the creator of Lisp, did not originally intend for Lisp to be an elegant refining of the principles of computation. But, after one or two insights, that’s what Lisp became. Paul Graham wrote that, with Lisp, McCarthy “did for programming something like what Euclid did for geometry.” [1]  After some work from McCarthy, some grads from the MIT and Steve Russel, Lisp was born. The way Lisp was constructed,
