I have stumbled upon the following wiki page:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_multi-paradigm_programming_languages
Supported paradigms:
-----------------------
Language: Racket
Number of Paradigms: 6
...
According to the same page eg. Julia supports 17 paradigms.
Not being an expert in Racket I can see the article sells Racket short. How
really this table should look like in regards to Racket?
Well, we poor Haskellians, and our friends, whose prayers go to Lava, we
have the right to declare just 2 paradigms in our passports... What a
tragedy...
BTW., I always thought about choosing my religion (e.g. the Mormonism or
Islam Shia, or Buddhsm Vajrayana) according to the number of paradigms.
This is THE fundamental property of a religion for a really deep
Thinker, isn't it?...)
More seriously, *this table is simply silly*. It has been written by
somebody who scanned some Wikipedia pages, and finding that, e.g., Lava
is a visual object-oriented language, marked YES in these two columns,
without looking elsewhere.
Fortran for the Authors is not imperative.
*Please, forget it.* The Authors sometimes issue a semi-positive "yes",
saying "library", but I doubt seriously that they could check even 1% of
the available packages for their 60 languages, which include Windows
PowerShell, but no Unix shells, no Smalltalk, etc.
All this "work" should be suppressed from Wikipedia, since it might be
pedagogically harmful.
