Well, objects are closures, so it makes sense to say that Java has closures. It doesn't have _lightweight_ closures with a decent syntax, but it does still have closures!
Message passing is "message passing concurrency", which isn't the "message passing" in "message passing vs method invocation". Of course, the chart isn't meant to imply that some language X with paradigms A, B and C can't support paradigm D: you can, for instance, implement the logic programming paradigm in Scheme (miniKanren), Clojure (core.logic) and, well, not in Smalltalk yet (other than the embedded Prologs) because I haven't finished Nutcracker yet! frank On 25 May 2012 22:56, Hernan Wilkinson <[email protected]> wrote: > I have not read the book, but seeing the principal programming paradigm > poster makes me think about how good it is because Java and Smalltalk are > wrongly categorized, at least for what I understand of the poster (java with > closure, smalltalk not in the message passing category) > > > On Wed, May 23, 2012 at 8:11 AM, Frank Shearar <[email protected]> > wrote: >> >> On 23 May 2012 12:00, Max Leske <[email protected]> wrote: >> > I'm looking for a good book on programming language history with a focus >> > on the different paradigms (e.g. imperative, functional, …).
