Line 1:

A '''multi-paradigm programming language''' allows, as described by [[Bjarne Stroustrup|Stroustrup]], "[a [[computer program|program]]] using more than one [[computer programming|programming]] style". An example is [[C Plus Plus|C++]] which handle usehandles both [[object-oriented programming|object-oriented]] and [[generic programming]].

Another example is [[Oz programming language|Oz]],

which has subsets that are a logic language (Oz descends from

logic programming), a functional language, an object-oriented language,

a dataflow concurrent language, and so forth. Oz was designed over a ten-year period

to combine in a harmonious way concepts that are traditionally associated

with different programming paradigms.
