You can help with funds to Caritas (portuguese site).

Perelandra

Perelandra by C.S. Lewis


Could you prevent the Original Sin if you had the chance? Eden revisited, in the unmistakable style of C.S. Lewis.

Not a sci-fi gem (the sci part is weak), but a very good and thought provoking book.

Homoiconicity

A programming language has the homoiconicity property when the primary representation of the programs is also a data structure in a primitive type of the language itself. It makes it easier to metaprogram.

Of course, LISP s-expressions (symbolic expressions) come to mind...

(function arg1 arg2 ...)

I knew there had to be an advantage in all those parenthesis ;-)
