Is there such thing as a good multi-paradigm language?

Name: Anonymous 2018-01-25 7:56

I'm not a man blindly devoted to a single paradigm. I understand the advantages of functional, but I don't despise procedural, and if it makes things easier I'll even do object oriented. actors, relations, flows and logic are not paradigms I use often, but they can prove invaluable when the need arises. typefaggotry or dynamic typing? I can do both.

here's a problem though: most of the supposedly multi-paradigm languages clearly suffer from paradigm favoritism, and something will always get the shaft. most lithps can do anything, but what they do well is meta and functional (inb4 typefags claiming it's not teh real functional). OCaml and derivatives are clearly functional-first, and doing OOP in them feels kinda wrong. and as much as I enjoy FIOC (I know, heresy), its unbelievably half-baked when it comes to functional and concurrent (and even its OOP could be better: implicit self would make shit less tedious). I know, there's always Common Lisp. but Common Lisp is an overcomplicated mess (plus, it's Lisp-2 which sucks).

is it the inevitable fate of the multi-paradigm? either half-baking half of the things or making an incomprehensible, chaotic and over-engineered meta-language? is it possible to avoid those two pitfalls, or does it only lead to falling into both at the same time like Sepples did?

Multi-paradigm is a buzzword used by people who want to make their language look more sophisticated than it is. Sepples is certainly ``multi-paradigm'', but does no paradigm correctly, so what does this buy you? Every stupid scripting language like FIOC that has shitty OO but allows you to write global functions is ``multi-paradigm'' because wow, it is both procedural and object-oriented!!!!\(\int^\infty_0\frac{x^{26} e^{-x/\pi}}{\Gamma(27)\pi^{27}}\)

I dare you to find a more useless term in programming.
