Yet another music reference, let's face it... this is my way of thinking. Women have had a hard time in all aspects throughout history, and coding is not an exception... even though at the very beginning they found within programming a specific niche for them to be involved, rapidly it was devoured by stereotypes and corruption of that closed minded society from before the 90s. Still, they found ways to show how they had their expertise increased greatly for coding, this way happened with some women in music industry, even though in the first half of the 20th century we already had big artists like Aretha Franklin for example, it was still seen sometimes as girls could only sing/dance or just be moms  (italics as I'm not refering to being a mother, I'm referring as the society's role of a mom that must stay in house) this made us have great surprises with those hidden talents people have. Talent by no means is a gender specific matter, even though we have many diffe...

Lisp has taught us many important things and change how programming is throughout the years. It taught us how we can use lists to process data and even its usage as data structures. Such is that nowadays this is our way of work, most of us (besides thinking in object oriented) we think in lists when processing information, and how each of its items relate to each other or even to other lists. And here comes my musical reference... There are many bands that can be related to Lisp, for example how Black Sabbath practically invented how Metal should sound like, how the first Californian Rock bands from the 90s implemented power chords as a main guitar technique, how Meat Loaf normalized the opera-like voice in metal, and so on. Like these examples I can list n  of them of how they influenced actual music genres. In this way, Lisp made us heirs of its functionality and some of us didn't even knew it.
