Here are my notes from University of Illinois Web Con 2014. These are from the talk “Learn Every Programming Language” by Patrick Delancy
4 programming paradigms
- Procedural
- Logical
- Functional
- Object Oriented
Procedural
- Loops
- Procedures/Functions/Subroutines
- Global/Static Variables
- GoTo
- Lexical Scoping
Object Oriented
- Class/Entity</li>
- Abstraction (interfaces)</li>
- Encapsulation</li>
- Inheritance</li>
- Polymorphism</li>
Functional
- Focuses on the process and not the entity models
- Functions as values
- Pattern Matching
- Composition
- Partial Application
- Monad/Computation Expression
- Closures (JavaScript and C#)
- Deconstruction/Decomposition
- Currying (JavaScript)
- Recursion/Tail Recursion
- Option/Maybe
- cons/car/cdr
Logical
- Facts
- Relationships
- Very declarative
