I think this is linked to a question I raised some months ago: <a href="http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/5590" rel="nofollow">http://lambda-the-ultimate.org/node/5590</a><p>After reflecting a bit about the answers I got, I've come to the conclusion that these languages and paradigms don't matter. No paradigm wins because none is substantially better. The tools/libraries etc are much more important.<p>There might be a time where we see a new paradigm emerge victorious (like in the transition from machine code/assembly to procedural). Or maybe programming will stop existing and we'll just have A.I.
