Last time I visited C2 it was just a site that served up HTML, what is this new async loader business it's doing? As a result, I can't see the actual content... I assume the three paradigms were: 1. Imperative 2. Functional 3. Logic-based?

This is what they taught at University in Australia 20 years ago. Wikipedia's programming paradigms page has ummm, more than is worth easily counting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_paradigm https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Programming_paradigm It also features Homoiconic programming paradigm that so many interviews ask questions about these days.

    Rebol...and upcoming Red/RedSystem are homoiconic too and might be more accessible if you aren't a big lisp fan.

      Sure, but besides maybe Clojure, I don't know of any homoiconic language that'd be popular enough in the industry that you'd expect questions about this showing up on interviews...

        You won't get an argument from me there. If it's a standard business logic Java/C# shop you won't get those questions.

These days it seems to be imperative to use async loaders. Are they more functional? Is there a logical reason to use them?

  Is "async loader" the thing where a page comes up as nothing but a list of URLs, unless you turn on Javascript? I see that with Instagram links - it's not even blank, it's just a plain list of URLs.

    Async just means that there is a script, which, some time after the page is technically "fully loaded", starts to load some more! That's useful for updates or actions that should occur without a complete page reload (which would discard the "user state"). It doesn't necessarily mean you see an URL list. It can be implemented by storing the list in Javascript code - and you don't "see" that Javascript code. The method you mention (mis)uses HTML Tags as datastore for the URLs list.
