  This essay analyze the George Orwell’s novel, nineteen eighty-four. Specially, Jem Berkes emphasizes the importance and the influence of the language.   The language is used very often by the politicians in order to mask the truth and mislead the population.

Over the time, the computer hardware, and thus, the programming languages have been evolving in order to make more robust software solutions. Although, there are some things that have changed, the overall idea is the same. For all programs, the idea is to read data from the memory and apply to them basic operations, and finally get the expected result from a cell of the memory. So, traditional programming is the most used today, though functional programming have been used by researchers for many years, it just starts to be popular. The reason is that functional and traditional programming are very different and programmers should learn and unlearn some concepts that don’t exist in the other one. But, functional programming let you to write more robust software and is easier to test. Moreover, it has advantages over imperative for concurrent and parallel programs. Basically, the functional programming consists in realize the computation by functions, as we see...
