I think an aspect of many paradigms and then the multiparadigm languages is that people don't see the original two camps of CS pioneers. Haskell is from math, brevity, correctness. Perl is a linguist's take on applied math. I would prefer to write a proof in haskell and a manifesto that expresses what I think, however irrational, in perl. ("If I had more time I would have written a shorter letter." and general sentiment towards first language vs math education imply that perl will be the easier and more comfortable language for most if that is really the primary goal. But the slight irrational thinking as we add more layers means eventual collapse.)
