text: # Algoid (programming language)
  
  Algoid is an educational programming language developed around 2012, by Yann Caron a student of computer science at CNAM, (Conservatoire national des arts et métiers at Paris)
  
  ## Features
  
  Algoid is an educational language that allows the student to use different paradigms:
  
     * Imperative
  
     * Procedural
  
     * Functional
  
     * Recursive
  
     * Object-oriented (multi-inheritance)
  
     * Aspect-oriented programming.
  
  It leads onto programming in industry standard language (such as C, Java and C++) and its syntax as close as possible to their respective syntaxes. It implements powerful idioms like meta-object protocol (from python) and cascade (from smalltalk).
  
  To do this, the fundamental principles of Algoid are:
  
  * A function is an expression.
  * An object is an expression.
  * An expression is an object.
  * So a function is a meta-function and an object is a meta-object.
