THE TAKING OF POWER BY LOUIS XIV:

King’s mundanities

death of a chief advisor

Must lead on his own

[une-sanz-pluis]

A form of vilification popular from the last decades of the twentieth century has been to cast Isabeau as a foil, as the baleful opposite of a good figure. She has been the traitor and adulterer opposed to the patriotic maid Joan of Arc, promiscuous spendthrift against the austere proto-feminist Christine de Pizan, and evil mother against the good mother Yolande of Aragon (or Anjou), Charles VII’s mother-in-law, also tasked with managing her dynasty. Philippe Erlanger names the first two chapters of his study of Charles VII “La mauvaise mère,” a reference to Isabeau, and “La bonne mère,” a reference to Yolande. In Erlanger’s estimation, Isabeau was neither the monster nor the unnatural mother that she has sometimes been thought to be: she was just busy enjoying the caresses of her lover Louis of Orléans while humble nurses watched over the little Charles. Yolande, on the other hand, was the good fairy who snatched the little prince from the evil genies and brought him to a peaceful oasis. Throughout the course of the almost entirely footnote-free work Erlanger offers not the slightest justification for the characterizations either of the “Bavarian” or Yolande in whom “burning Spain” and “harsh Lorraine” met under the peaceful protection of the Valois.

My first memory of Cannes Film Festival is from Mr Bean’s Holiday where Mr Bean hijacks a screening, replacing a very serious film with his heart warming travel vlog. His vlog then went onto inspire the fictional filmmakers of this universe.

When a film I had written won ‘Best Experimental Short’ at ‘Canne Shorts’ I was extremely excited as I thought I had won a prestigious award. However, this was not the case. The film festival merely took place in Cannes!

History

An American film won the jury’s hearts at the 1939 Venice Film Festival but was robbed of its prize when winners were swapped for political entries last minute. Outraged, Philippe Erlanger proposed a film festival where recognition could be given without political beliefs interfering.

The original nine nations aiming to attend would form their own Grand Prix’s in order to remain unbiased. But due to conflicts, the first festival did not take place until 1946.

Importance

With the influx of content produced, the jurors and programmers at Canne film festival help to shape the history and development of the film industry.

Returning directors can showcase their talents and inspire the next generation of film makers while also dazzling film fanatics. This high-quality cinema could even then trickle down onto streaming platforms where the casual streamer is exposed to the brilliance of cinema.

The festivals international status also gives filmmakers the opportunity to reach audiences outside their country of origin. An example of this is the surge of attention directed to the Korean film industry after Parasite won the Palm D’ore in 2019.

Audience Critique

With the festival’s high status – comes high expectations. Whether a film is adored or despised, it will face a severe critique from the jury, programmers, and audience. This can lead to films being immortalised in cinema history or face infamy. It is not the final say in a film’s success (as a Cannes audience booed Taxi Driver) but a positive reception from industry professionals could signal the same response in the general public.

‘ Ibrahim. Ibrahim of Parga. Ibrahim, my sworn enemy. You departed from this life; you went to the other side. I hope you somehow hear me. I’d like to tell you these when you were alive while looking into your eyes. It wasn’t meant to be. I owe my thanks to you, Ibrahim. I lived a life that nobody can live. Your share is big, I won’t deny it. You chose me. You offered me to His Majesty. Even if you regretted it a thousand times, it is the truth. In fact, you and I were two fans around the fire. The fire is Sultan Suleyman himself. I stopped. I knew my place. But you didn’t, Ibrahim. You got closer and closer. You circled and burnt as you circled. You burnt to ashes. Souls are immortal, I know. I will have to face unsettled accounts sooner or later. Then we’ll meet again, Ibrahim. ’

—  Magnificent Century,  Hürrem Sultan, ep. 134

Richelieu seemed to have experienced some emotion. He wrote to Chavigny: ‘ I beg God with all my heart that he has given eternal rest to the Queen’s soul. I am happy to have seen by letters that she has a great repentance for her faults and that she has forgiven with a great heart those whom she held as her enemies. ’ The tragedy which had been played out between these two people had a disconcerting epilogue. Another letter from Richelieu to Chavigny reveals: ‘ Sieur Riolan (Marie de Medici’s doctor) writes to me that he is keeping the Queen’s parrot for me, which I once had the honour of giving her. I beg the King to see fit to make me the heir to this animal. ’

Below-freezing temperatures and bulky outerwear can make winter a challenging time, sartorially speaking, but come January, the gloves are off—both literally and figuratively—when Hollywood’s jet-set touches down in sunny Los Angeles for award season. Thanks to a blockbuster year in film, music, and television, the 2019 red carpets are an opportunity to make a major statement. Here, we’ve shown an early spotlight on 23 actors and musicians guaranteed to land spots on the 2019 awards season’s best-dressed lists. Let’s start with a red carpet renaissance woman: Lady Gaga is going to have an epic award season. We can’t wait to see what she wears to the Golden Globes, the Oscars, and the Grammys when she wins big for basically everything A Star Is Born is nominated for; her style evolution has been a true Hollywood glow-up! A close second and perennial team Who What Wear fave, Emma Stone is bound to inspire your next black-tie event look when she hits the red carpets in 2019. Think she’ll take any notes from her character, Abigail Masham, in The Favorite and go full baroque, or keep it completely contemporary with the latest from Louis Vuitton? Speaking of The Favourite ,  Joe Alwyn , aka Baron Masham, aka the first earl of Leicester in Mary Queen of Scots , is guaranteed to have a memorable awards season (especially if Taylor Swift is on his arm). The 27-year-old British actor had a banner year with four movies premiering in 2018, and undoubtedly cribbed a few style notes from several of Hollywood’s leading ladies—we have a feeling his star status is about to skyrocket. Of course, award season wouldn’t be a must-watch moment if not for a little healthy competition. Saoirse Ronan and Margot Robbie , two of 2018’s best dressed and co-stars/rivals in Mary Queen of Scots , are absolutely going to slay—sartorially speaking. Spoiler alert: There’s a clear winner in the film (and, um, history), but we’d be absolutely thrilled if the top red carpet ranking featured a tie between these two sensational style stars. While we’re revisiting history, let us remember the ground-breaking, earth-shaking, and red carpet–rousing movie of the year, Black Panther . Boasting an all-star lineup and memorable world premiere in which the cast paid homage to African royalty, we hope this stylish crew—especially Chadwick Boseman, Lupita Nyong’o, Michael B. Jordan, Leticia Wright, Danai Gurira, Daniel Kaluuya, and Angela Bassett —continues its winning streak throughout award season. Wakanda forever! Crazy Rich Asians , one of the most over-the-top and enjoyable fashion films of the year, was a feast for the eyes both on screen and at the red carpet premiere. Constance Wu , the movie’s leading lady, worked with celeb stylist and Who What Wear contributor  Micaela Erlanger  for the press tour last summer, creating gorgeous looks for a range of appearances. We love how they play with fashion together and can’t wait to see which designer is selected for the Globes in January. Fashion’s latest It boy, Timothée Chalamet , had an incredible 2017 with Oscar-nominated films Lady Bird and Call Me by Your Name , and this year, he added Golden Globe nominee to his list of accolades. Not only does the Beautiful Boy star embrace bold colors and prints, but he’s also reportedly self-styled. We’re impressed! If you haven’t already heard of Kiki Layne , don’t worry—you will soon. Her breakout film, If Beale Street Could Talk , an adaptation of James Baldwin’s 1974 novel by Oscar-winning director Barry Jenkins, has already been nominated for several Golden Globes ahead of its premiere. Kiki has a major year ahead of her with at least two other projects in the can, and we’re excited for her red carpet debut with Regina King, her fellow Beale Street star and Golden Globe nominee. Rounding out our list of film favorites is a newcomer, Elsie Fisher . At just 15, she has captured hearts as the cringe-worthy (in the best way!) ingenue of Bo Burnham’s directorial debut, Eighth Grade , which premiered over the summer. Elsie has already made an impression at smaller red carpet events, and she recently spoke to Vanity Fair about her affinity for suits, remarking, “I feel like suits are very me… I look poppin’ in ’em!” We couldn’t agree more. As far as red carpet style goes, we find musicians tend to be a bit more daring than actors, which is why we’re especially excited for the 2019 Grammys. One woman who never ceases to surprise us with her style chops is Cardi B, who is up for album of the year for Invasion of Privacy . Whether Cardi goes full-on glam, breaks a piece out of Versace’s archives, or debuts her upcoming collab with Fashion Nova, we know she’ll dress to impress—red bottoms, guaranteed. It’s no surprise that with the rise of the rosé wave in pop music came the return of cowboy boots . At the center of this ethereal yet empowering moment is singer Kacey Musgraves . The “Velvet Elvis” singer has already racked up several Country Music Awards but was recently nominated for album of the year for Golden Hour , transcending the confines of her genre, and presenting an opportunity to show off her unique mix of vintage-meets–high-fashion style at next year’s Grammys. We’ve had our eyes on Dua Lipa ever since she explained “New Rules” to us in 2017, and we were thrilled by her two Grammy nominations this year. Up for best new artist and best dance recording, this edgy British singer and street style star will undoubtedly make a major red carpet splash throughout 2019. Is there anything Tessa Thompson can’t do? In addition to her appearance in Janelle Monae’s much-buzzed-about “Pynk” music video, the Creed and Westworld star is a style chameleon who’s bound to thrive during award season—even if she’s just there to support her friends and castmates, the similarly suave Michael B. Jordan and Thandie Newton. Let’s talk about Lili Reinhart for a minute: Not only has she captured hearts as Betty (and Dark Betty!) on Riverdale for the past three seasons, but she’s also become a media darling, sharing insights into acting , acne , and of course, all things Archie. Notably, we love her brand-new campaign photos for the Mighty Company x Ilaria Urbanati celestial-inspired charity collection—hey, if anyone can pull of stars and stripes on a red carpet, it’s Lili. See you at the Emmys? If you haven’t already caught up on Atlanta , consider this an official mandate. You’ll probably recognize Zazie Beetz as Vanessa Keefer, Donald Glover’s character’s ex-girlfriend. Or maybe you remember her from Deadpool 2 as Domino, a mutant whose superpower is luck. Either way, Zazzie is definitely one to watch this red carpet season, especially since she’s being styled by Jason Bolden, whose other clients include Yara Shahidi and Sasha Lane. Be sure to look for her at this year’s Golden Globes supporting Donald, and hopefully again on the Emmys red carpet next fall. Finally, we’ve got the one and only  Busy Philipps. Unless you’ve completely opted out of pop culture and social media this year, Philipps has been on your mind—or more accurately, on your phone! A forever fave from early aughts teen dramas Dawson’s Creek and Freaks and Geeks , Philipps has BLOWN UP in 2018 thanks to her hilarious commentary, candor, and colorful style which is broadcast via her Instagram, recently released memoir, This Will Only Hurt a Little , and new E! show, Busy Tonight . Working with stylist Karla Welch (who also counts Tracee Ellis Ross and Sarah Paulson as clients), you know Busy’s bound to bust a move, whether on the red carpet, in her nightgown, or at a tiny trampoline class. Think I missed any potential red carpet style stars of 2019? Hit me up on Twitter or Instagram at @Drewblahblah and we’ll put them on Who What Wear’s radar before the New Year. Up Next:  From the Oscars to the Golden Globes, Cannes to the British Fashion Awards here’s where you’ll find the most glorious red carpet looks .

I found a massive, 400 pages long fic OMC/Richelieu that spans over twenty years, from 1622 to 1640s I believe. I’ve just scrolled through, but it’s basically s retell of Philipp Erlanger but with flamboyant gays (and Marie-Madeleine de Combalet, Duchesse d’Aiguillon because I’m that cheap and predictable).

Descriptions of Richelieu in French litterature

“Tall, pale, his angular features emphasized by the sharp beard and mustache, with this sovereign height in his stance, and this feverish glint in his burning eyes, a stare showing deep, energic, almost painful expression. With that smooth slenderness of a horseman whom a capricious fate had burdened with heavy ecclesiastic ornaments.” Auguste BAILLI - “Richelieu” 1934

“The waves of red, which were hiding the worst physical agonies, gave to that long, svelte a fastuous majesty that seemed to radiate from an emperor, not a Prince of the Church.” Philippe ERLANGER - “Richelieu” - 2006

“Seductive and charming, supple and sly, golden tongue, silken speeches, velvet eyes, his mask mobile at will, he had all that he needed to be a conqueror without compare.” Maximin DELOCHE - “La maison du Cardinal de Richelieu” - 1920 “He’s always on the move because he’s always suspended between fear and hope.” Mathieu DE MORGUES - “Abbregé de la vie du cardinal de Richelieu, pour luy servir d'épitaphe” - 1643

“He had wished to be loved by the people, bu though he had the politeness, the appearance, and many other required skills, he always lacked this je-ne-sais-quoi that is always in those matters the most necessary thing of all. “ Cardinal de RETZ - “Mémoires” - 1677

“He blends the smoothness of honey To the bitterness of his venom.

He never pierces without a caress. He never smothers without an embrace.

He flatters, even when he kills. And never his soul has been seen naked.” 17th Century anonymous Pamphlet.

I did some research in my own books, and I wanted to translate those as a conversation-starter for @lustigs-maerchenland (as if we needed those), but as I realized this could be my 500th post, I decided to share it. I have no idea why, or if anyone would enjoy this shit. I’ll just lay it down and quietly step back. Hugs to my beloved team! Hope you’re all alright!

First of all, I always say, this is a period so rich in letters and memoir, there are lot of primary sources written by members of the court themselves. There are so many good ones, but for information about Philippe specifically I can recommend the following: If you can get hold of a copy of “Fatal Gallantry; or the Secret History of Madame the Duchess of Orleans” by Mme de Lafayette that is a really good introduction to all the main characters of the court by someone who actually knew them well, in the early days when they were all young and fun and dramatic. For the mid-period, Liselotte, Monsieur’s second wife, also wrote many letters back home to her family - you can find them collected in “Letters from Liselotte” which I believe is also online in archive.org. Then you have the Duke de Saint Simon’s memoirs, which show the court in its older years. He didn’t really like the King or Monsieur too much, but was a great friend on Monsieur’s son, Philippe II.

In terms of history books, Nancy Mitford’s “The Sun King” is a fun and gossipy, if unsourced, account of the court. Slightly more historically accurate, you have Antonia Fraser’s book “Love and Louis XIV” which is pretty good. If you are specifically interested in Monsieur there is Nancy Barker’s “Brother to the Sun King”.

If you read French, then you have a whole lot more open to you, such as the work of Philippe Erlanger which is excellent - specifically “Louis XIV” and “Monsieur, frère de Louis XIV”.

Finally, not really history but the Three Musketeers books by Alexandre Dumas really bring the period to life and the later books feature both Philippe and the Chevalier de Lorraine iirc

Calling people who actually know their history. Anybody know some good books about the court of Louis XIV, preferably featuring information about Philippe? (Maybe some Chevalier but honestly I don't think there is too much out there so yeah) Or some other reliable resources? I'm just a little clueless Versailles stan with a vague understanding of what actually went on and I want to be a useless versailles stan who actually knows their history.

"Ad usum delphini", ovvero Adatto agli incapaci

La locuzione latina Ad usum Delphini - che oggi si usa per significare qualcosa come “adatto agli incapaci” -riguardava un Delfino molto particolare, l’incredibilmente nobile primogenito del "Re Sole" di Francia, Luigi XIV, e della Regina, Maria Teresa d'Asburgo-Spagna. I nonni paterni furono Luigi XIII e Anna d’Austria, e quelli materni Filippo IV di Spagna ed Elisabetta di Francia. Siccome Elisabetta era sorella di Luigi XIII, mentre Filippo IV era fratello di Anna d'Austria, i genitori del Delfino erano doppi cugini di primo grado - e lui, l’erede, un distillato iperconcentrato del sangue più nobile del Continente. Una meraviglia! Le Dauphin de France e sua mamma, Maria Teresa, appaiono sopra in un notevole quadro dipinto attorno al 1663 dal pittore di corte Charles Beaubrun. Essendo il ragazzino paragonabile a una sorta di bambino in provetta - una risorsa per tutta l’umanità - fu allevato con moltissima attenzione. All'età di sette anni venne tolto dalla balia e inserito d'improvviso nella società degli adulti. Charles de Sainte-Maure, duca di Montausier, fu suo governatore e il suo tutore fu Jacques Bénigne Bossuet, vescovo di Meaux, gran predicatore e oratore di Francia. Questi, terrorizzati che la mente del loro protetto potesse essere contaminata da concetti disdicevoli, fecero produrre una lunga serie (64 volumi) di testi dei principali classici latini accuratamente epurati da ogni pensiero potenzialmente scabroso o comunque “inappropriato” - testi per l’appunto “ad uso del Delfino” come recitavano i frontespizi. I testi ripuliti vennero poi ristampati e utilizzati per secoli nelle scuole d’Europa e delle Americhe… Forse non sorprenderà che il futuro “Grand Dauphin” - grande per la notevole stazza, non per l’abilità - crebbe con l’orrore degli studi. Già il terreno non era fertile poiché, come scrive lo storico Philippe Erlanger: “Aveva ereditato la docilità e la poca intelligenza di sua madre”. Morto prima del decesso del padre, non fu mai Re di Francia. Però, attraverso i propri figli, trasmise il suo sangue molto reale ad altri re ancora, garantendo la prosecuzione della linea di Borbone sul trono di Francia e l'instaurazione della dinastia borbonica in Spagna. Bello il quadro però. Read the full article

The first annual Cannes Film Festival was held at the resort city of Cannes on French Riviera from 20 September to 5 October 1946. 21 nations presented their films at the first Cannes International Film Festival, which took place at the former casino of Cannes. The festival has initially intended to make its debut in 1939, but the outbreak of World War II forced it's cancellation. The world's first annual international film festival was in 1932, but by 1938, the Venice Film festival had become a vehicle for Fascist and Nazi propaganda. Outraged, France decided to organize an alternative film festival at Cannes, was announced in Paris, France.

The Cannes Festival, until 2003 called the International Film Festival known in English as the Cannes Film Festival, is an annual film festival held in Cannes, France, which previews new films of all categories including documentaries from all around the world. It's origins in 1938 when Jean Zay, the French Minister of National Education, on the proposal of high ranking official and historian Philippe Erlanger and film journalist Robert Favre Le Bret decided to set up an international cinematographic festival. They found the support of the Americans and the British.

The reason for deciding Cannes was because of its touristic appeal as a French Riviera resort town and also because the city hall also offered to increase the municipality’s financial participation and promising for building a dedicated venue for the event. The first event was planned to be held from 1 to 20 September 1939 in an auditorium at the Municipal Casino and Louis Lumière was going to be the honorary president to inaugurate. Its aim was to encourage the development of all forms of cinematographic art and foster a spirit of collaboration between film-producing countries.

Now more than 30,000 people come to Cannes each May to attend the annual Cannes Film Festival, about 100 times the number of film devotees who showed up for the first Cannes in 1946.

UN PEU D’HISTOIRE

2 – UN PEU D’HISTOIRE

��Avant le Festival de Cannes, existait la Mostra de Venise constituant la partie cinéma de la Biennale de Venise.

Fin 1930, compte tenu de l'ingérence gouvernementale Allemande et Italienne dans la sélection cinématographique de la Mostra de Venise, il fût décidé par Jean ZAY à cette époque, ministre de l'Instruction Publique et des Beaux-Arts et suite à une idée de Philippe ERLANGER, de faire concurrence à la Mostra par la création d'un festival cinématographique international qui se tiendrait à Cannes.

Louis LUMIERE en Juin 1939 accepte la présidence de ce premier festival (1er au 30 Septembre).

Sont sélectionnés pour la France :

- L'Enfer des Anges de Christian JAQUE

‘ Thus, even the power of a queen crowned at Saint-Denis remained at the mercy of the King’s pleasure. Richelieu was haunted by this idea of “disgrace” which was to remain his obsession.  He thought of the incredible fortune of the Concinis and of their sudden collapse, and looked for the faults and the errors that would lose triumphant favourites. There was no trace of discouragement in his morose reflections, no desire to give up the conquest of power. On the contrary. The ambitious man was thinking only of learning from this first defeat the salutary lessons that would one day lead him to victory. ’

—  Philippe Erlanger, Richelieu: l’ambitieux, le révolutionnaire, le dictateur

ANALYSE - Les Français savent en tout cas, depuis les Cent Jours, que nouer des attachements politiques sans réserve expose à de graves désagréments.

«Qu’ai-je donc fait, grands dieux? Quel cours infortuné/ À ma funeste vie aviez-vous destiné?/ Tous mes moments ne sont qu’un éternel passage/ De la crainte à l’espoir, de l’espoir à la rage.» Voilà des vers de Racine qui s’appliquent parfaitement à la mélancolie du Français de droite classique, consterné et sombre après l’effondrement électoral du parti censé le représenter faute de mieux.

L’époque qui voit l’horizon politique réduit au duel entre Emmanuel Macron et Marine Le Pen n’est pas faite pour lui. La vie publique promet d’être très pénible les trois prochaines années. Aussi adjurons-nous le lecteur d’investir son énergie ailleurs: idylle, redécouverte des merveilleuses biographies de Philippe Erlanger publiées dans les volumes à couverture rouge de la bibliothèque académique Perrin, abonnement aux opérettes d’Offenbach, jardinage, poterie. Extérieur et presque étranger à un temps qu’il n’aime pas, le Français de droite classique a besoin de distance. Préservons nos nerfs à vif. Ne prenons plus l’actualité au tragique. Pourquoi se faire un sang d’encre pour le pays, après tout? On ne peut pas être plus royaliste que le roi. Las de lutter sans cesse contre le courant qui nous entraîne, cédons-lui. Tout au moins pour l’heure.

Le précédent des Cent Jours s’impose à l’esprit. Faut-il rester fidèle, quitte à paraître ridicule aux esprits modernes, ou se rallier dans l’espoir honorable d’être utile? En mars 1815, on ne compte plus les personnalités qui, après avoir juré fidélité à Louis XVIII, se sont déclarées hautement en faveur de Napoléon à mesure de son avancée vers la capitale. Délaissant sa chère Mme de Staël et Coppet, Benjamin Constant écrit dans le Journal des débats, en apprenant la nouvelle du débarquement de l’Empereur à Golfe-Juan: «Je n’irai pas, misérable transfuge, me traîner d’un pouvoir à l’autre, couvrir l’infamie par le sophisme et balbutier des mots profanés pour racheter une vie honteuse.»Trois semaines plus tard, le même Constant, appelé par Napoléon de retour aux Tuileries, accourt et accepte de rédiger la nouvelle Constitution impériale. Ce spectaculaire revirement lui vaudra une place de choix dans un best-seller de l’époque, Le Dictionnaire des girouettes, paru après Waterloo. C’est pourtant avec de solides arguments que Constant se défendra alors. Il était logique pour lui, soutiendra le penseur helvète, de saisir l’occasion d’œuvrer à l’intérieur du régime napoléonien dans l’espoir de l’infléchir dans un sens libéral (intention attestée par l’acte additionnel aux Constitutions de l’Empire d’avril 1815) plutôt que de se cantonner dans une opposition magnifique d’allure mais stérile.

 «Personne ne tient à personne. Il n’y a ni affections ni opinions»

La belle plaidoirie n’a pas convaincu Chateaubriand, paladin de la fidélité. Dans les Mémoires d’outre-tombe, il tourne en ridicule les reproches que ses adversaires lui adressent en les formulant ainsi: l’attachement à une cause, en temps de révolution, «passe pour une espèce de borne d’esprit, pour un préjugé, une habitude inintelligente d’éducation, une lubie (…). Quelle capacité peut-on trouver à n’y voir goutte, à rester étranger à la marche du siècle, au mouvement des idées, à la transformation des mœurs, au progrès de la société? N’est-ce pas une méprise déplorable que d’attacher aux évènements une importance qu’ils n’ont pas?», ironise Chateaubriand. Le grand styliste, on le voit, se plaît à se dépeindre en dernier des combattants d’une cause perdue, debout l’épée à la main au milieu des ruines. Et il doute de la sincérité de ses détracteurs. «Cette époque, où la franchise manque à tous, serre le cœur, assène l’écrivain. À cette impossibilité de vérité dans les sentiments, à ce désaccord entre les paroles et les actions, on se sent saisi de dégoût pour l’espèce humaine.»

Les Français savent en tout cas, depuis les Cent Jours, que nouer des attachements politiques sans réserve expose à de graves désagréments. Qui sait de quoi demain sera fait? Voilà plus de deux siècles, en avril 1815, Prosper de Barante, un monarchiste libéral, avait dépeint le quinquennat que nous vivons: «Personne ne tient à personne. Il n’y a ni affections ni opinions.»

Détendons-nous. Laissons Racine de côté pour le moment. Inspirons-nous du sage programme de François Mitterrand confié à Roland Dumas lors du retour de l’homme du 18 Juin aux affaires, et rapporté par Georgette Elgey dans son Histoire de la IVe République (Fayard) : le 1er juin 1958, de Gaulle obtient l’investiture de l’Assemblée. Mitterrand et Dumas ont voté contre lui, en vain. Découragés, les deux députés quittent l’hémicycle du Palais Bourbon. Ils gagnent les quais, déambulent et font les bouquinistes. Puis, soudain, Mitterrand se tourne vers Dumas et s’exclame: «On va en prendre pour dix ans. Il va falloir s’occuper. On lira de la belle poésie, on écoutera de la belle musique. En un mot, on va vivre!»

Elixir vs Erlang y por qué blockchain necesita desarrolladores jóvenes: una entrevista con Philipp Piwowarsky

Le preguntamos a Philipp sobre Erlang, Elixir, los sistemas de pago inclusivos y cómo es capacitar a una nueva generación de desarrolladores.

A Phillipp, que desde hace mucho tiempo es un entusiasta de blockchain y desarrollador de software, le encanta aportar su ferviente conocimiento para desarrollar soluciones escalables e innovadoras. También le apasiona educar a otros sobre la tecnología blockchain. Actualmente, trabajando como líder del equipo Elixir de æternity, Philipp estudió Mediainformática en LMU Munich y está muy entusiasmado con seguir métodos ágiles para desarrollar software bien diseñado con código limpio. Si bien sus amigos podrían describirlo como “experto en tecnología”, estamos más interesados ​​en su pasión y curiosidad por aprender sobre las nuevas tecnologías. Recientemente le preguntamos sobre Erlang vs Elixir, la importancia de los sistemas de pago inclusivos y cómo es capacitar a una nueva generación de desarrolladores para que la tecnología blockchain forme parte del futuro.

¿Cómo te involucraste con esto de blockchain?

Me interesé en blockchain hace algún tiempo y desde entonces he tratado de seguir todos los desarrollos en este espacio hasta hoy. Conocí a Yani varias veces en un Meetup de Bitcoin y él me presentó la idea de æternity. Después de un tiempo me pidió que ayudara a hacer æternity una realidad.

¿Qué hace que los desarrolladores junior sean buenos para desarrollar blockchain?

Las personas que son nuevas en el desarrollo de software tienden a tener un sesgo más bajo para formas específicas de escribir su código. Por lo tanto, hacer que comprendan nuevos conceptos suele ser más fácil, ya que no intentan aplicarlos a enfoques que ya conocen. Esto es especialmente cierto cuando se piensa en el desarrollo de blockchain.

La mayoría de los problemas en este sector son realmente diferentes al desarrollo de software tradicional, ya que deben resolverse en un entorno de confianza.

¿Qué papel juega el prototyping en tu trabajo?

La creación de implementaciones de prototipos iniciales para las características principales de æternity fue un paso importante para educar a los desarrolladores que eran nuevos en el espacio. No se pidió a los desarrolladores que codificaran funciones bien especificadas, sino que tuvieron que encontrar soluciones para que funcionaran por sí mismas. Por ejemplo: cómo construir un sistema Oracle sin que nadie más pueda proporcionar respuestas defectuosas.

¿Por qué te gusta Elixir?

Elixir es un gran lenguaje funcional, reúne todos los beneficios de la plataforma Erlang/OTP en un lenguaje fácil de leer y aprender.

Resolver la mayoría de los problemas en Elixir no requiere que pienses mucho sobre el lenguaje en sí, sino que le permite concentrarse en sus estructuras de datos y algoritmos.

El lenguaje tiene muy poca sobrecarga de programación y ofrece un poco de “syntactic sugar” agradable sobre Erlang. Por ejemplo: la función piping da salida a la siguiente.

¿Entonces, Elixir es tu lenguaje “favorito”?

Esta es mi preferencia personal. Prefiero que los idiomas tengan un sistema de escritura más estricto, lo que obliga a especificar tipos de datos. A cambio, el compilador comprueba posibles errores. En nuestro proyecto, tuvimos algunos errores y falta de comunicación porque los tipos no se ajustaron correctamente al refactorizar o agregar una nueva funcionalidad.

Esto no es un desafío propio de Elixir, sino más bien una decisión de diseño para este lenguaje. No tener un sistema de escritura estricto puede traer otros beneficios.

En general, Elixir se siente como un lenguaje muy maduro para su edad temprana.

¿Sientes que Elixir es para los jóvenes y Erlang es para los viejos?

Si y no. Elixir ofrece a las personas que desean experimentar las ventajas de la programación funcional una barrera de entrada más baja que Erlang, ya que su sintaxis y su estilo de código general es más similar a otros lenguajes “de moda”. Una vez que comienzas con Elixir, hay muy pocos beneficios al cambiar a Erlang.

Philip con uno de los jóvenes talentos Elixir dev — Dimitar Velev

Erlang en sí no es para personas mayores, es solo que muchas de las personas que comenzaron con Erlang lo hicieron hace muchos años cuando el Elixir, como alternativa en este ecosistema, aún no existía.

Creo que Erlang y Elixir tienen buenas razones para coexistir uno junto al otro.

Los grandes desarrolladores de Erlang también pueden ser grandes desarrolladores de Elixir si ven la necesidad de cambiar.

Esto también funciona al revés; a los buenos desarrolladores de Elixir se les haría fácil aprender Erlang si tuvieran laoportunidad.

¿Por qué podría blockchain cambiar el equilibrio de poder en el mundo?

Creo que no importa cómo los llamen, los sistemas de pago inclusivos tienen la oportunidad de hacer un cambio en este mundo mediante la creación de una sociedad global más igualitaria.

La tecnología Blockchain otorga a cada individuo un derecho de propiedad sin que nadie tenga el poder de quitárselo.

Esto permite una mejor privacidad, obstaculizando la opresión y aliviando e incluso erradicando la corrupción.

Si pudieras dar un consejo a alguien nuevo, ¿cuál sería?

Pensar fuera de la caja es la clave del éxito. Intenta aplicar tu forma de pensar a todos los demás que revisan tus desarrollos y aliéntalos a abstraerlos para su propio beneficio. Esto te hará encontrar posibles errores o vulnerabilidades.
