Does anyone else think paradigms are unnecessary codification? "Paradigm" is something science historians talk about. We can talk about objects, functions, data structures, abstractions, interfaces, complex compositions, etc. without mentioning paradigms. We can plan software that follows rules without involving a paradigm. We can teach a course just on functional programming and still not talk about it as a paradigm. With all the words we have to describe the parts of programming, "paradigm" seems as generic and vague as "concept" or "thing". But "paradigm" does have a specific meaning, and it's not relevant in practice.
