Each paradigm will support a different way of thinking and problem solving. Paradigms are supported by programming language features. Some programming languages support more than one paradigm. There are many different paradigms, not all mutually exclusive. Here are just a few different paradigms.

    Paradigms of computer programming l This course aims to teach programming as a unified discipline that covers all programming languages l We cover the essential concepts and techniques in a uniform framework l Second-year university level: requires some programming experience and mathematics (sets, lists, functions) l The course covers four important themes: l Programming paradigms l Mathematical semantics of programming l Data abstraction l Concurrency l Let’s see how this works in practice Hundreds of programming languages are in use... So many, how can we understand them all? l Key insight: languages are based on paradigms, and there are many fewer paradigms than languages l We can understand many languages by learning few paradigms! What is a paradigm? l A programming paradigm is an approach to programming a computer based on a coherent set of principles or a mathematical theory l A program is written to solve problems l Any realistic program needs to solve different kinds of problems l Each kind of problem needs its own paradigm l So we need multiple paradigms and we need to combine them in the same program How can we study multiple paradigms? l How can we study multiple paradigms without studying multiple languages (since most languages only support one, or sometimes two paradigms)? l Each language has its own syntax, its own semantics, its own system, and its own quirks l We could pick three languages, like Java, Erlang, and Haskell, and structure our course around them l This would make the course complicated for no good reason

We will point out several important key Full list of author information is features that distinguish languages of the Lisp family from other programming available at the end of the article languages and we will explain how these features can aid researchers in becoming more productive and creating better code. We will also show how these features make these languages ideal tools for artificial intelligence and machine learning applications. We will specifically stress the advantages of domain-specific languages (DSL): languages which are specialized to a particular area and thus not only facilitate easier research problem formulation, but also aid in the establishment of standards and best programming practices as applied to the specific research field at hand. DSLs are particularly easy to build in Common Lisp, the most comprehensive Lisp dialect, which is commonly referred to as the “programmable programming language.” We are convinced that Lisp grants programmers unprecedented power to build increasingly sophisticated artificial intelligence systems that may ultimately transform machine learning and AI research in bioinformatics and computational biology.
