paradigms

Lisp (or any existing language or language based on existing paradigms) will never imitate true dialog between humans.

It follows the same philosophy: emphasis on readability, familiarity and maintainability, with PL research and new paradigms being non-goals.

That is why so many non-web-like technologies/paradigms end up on the web (flash, SPAs, huge client-side frameworks).

Clojure and Scala are pretty good ideas, being modified versions of two leading programming paradigms, i.e.

Probably because its easier to see the use of functional paradigms in languages you're familiar with.

A better example of is the endless paradigms popping up to handle highly interactive javascript.

But it seems like high-performance parallel computing paradigms are forgotten and reinvented every year.

It supports a lot of the most useful and powerful paradigms that lispers use, so many lispers like it and use it.

Now there are popping up more and more essentially parallel paradigms, mainly to pull some of the user-land implementations back into the language.

It's not exactly Haskell-level functional, but still, you're probably already using functional paradigms.

I, for one, do not think that it is expressive enough to cover all of the different paradigms being explored.

There are also very different paradigms which I find renew my interest.

These paradigms actually encompass other models, and it that sense, they are pragmatic conservative choices (in a sense, "minimal").

And when you consider that CL's "object orientation" is more generic that c++'s or java's, based on generic methods alone, inferring from c++- or java-paradigms to good CL style just does not work.

Examples include having an opinion about what a "joyride tour" javascript widget looks like, having an opinion about what makes a good date-time picker, mastering form validation, -- the list is nearly endless, but they all come down to the person having an informed opinion about what UI/UX paradigms are best from a human-computer interaction perspective, and knowing that these paradigms change quickly.

In my opinion UI/UX are huge research fields, which you can see when you look at how the paradigms and "dogmas" from two years ago are now known to be the exact opposite of what you want.
