- Efficiency of execution
- Reliability
- Maintainability
- etc.
Paradigms
Imperative
Syntax: sequence of commands
Semantics: Updates to program state
Ex: C, Cpp, Go, Python
Functional
Syntax: composition of functions
Semantics: evaluation of mathematical functions
Examples: Lisp, Haskell, Ocaml
Logic
Syntax: set of constraints or rules
Semantics: constraint satisfaction via search
Examples: Prolog, Datalog
OOP
Based on the concept of objects that encapsulate the data and the methods acting on that data.
