On Languages, Models and Programming Styles

M. Petre * and R. Winder *

In this paper, we attempt to clarify both the terminology used to classify programming languages and the nature of the classification itself. We feel that the current terminology and classification as captured in the literature is out of balance with the way that subject programming languages are used. We consider the accessibility of the computational model and the importance of the implementation language and suggest that a re-appraisal in this context will produce a better characterisation of both the programming language styles and their labels.

Received June 1988. revised December 1989.
