Which programming paradigm and language? 

It is essential to pick an appropriate programming paradigm and programming language for the programmatic WWW authoring endeavor

 

• Paradigm
  • The functional paradigm seems to be attractive

  • The imperative paradigm does not fit well

  • The object-oriented paradigm may also be attractive

• Language
  • A language with a simple, uniform, and flexible syntax is to be preferred

  • Rigid and complicated syntactic constructs do not fit well with authoring of natural language texts

  • Lisp is a good choice - but not necessarily the only choice
