My claim is that these multi-paradigm languages may be better thought of as a core plus some paradigm-specific sublanguages, all jammed into the same syntax and glued together in random places. A better multi-paradigm language could avoid having separate parts that poorly work together. The thing that the comment I first replied to called ‘multi-paradigm’ is I think really the bad glue job like a plate that was smashed, glued together, smashed, and then glued together a second time. I don’t think it is an essential quality of multi-paradigm languages. For example Raku (fka perl6) fits different paradigms together more smoothly, and Julia can be used in a procedural or functional way as well as a more object-oriented way (though Julia’s objects tend not to contain as much state as a typical object-oriented language) |
