The same might be said about Python, which supports procedural, OO and functional styles out of the box. Prototype-oriented is so close to OO that you can fake it in Python: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4629224/prototypal-programming-in-python I'm not sure what they mean by tabular, perhaps something like Resolver System's Python-in-a-spreadsheet? http://www.resolversystems.com/products/resolver-one/ And presumably anyone who has played around with GUI programming in Python will have run into message oriented coding. -- Steven -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
