There Are Three Programming Paradigms (2013)
a pete peeve i've had about "goal based programming": it always sounds like people are just arguing for a higher level of abstraction. is that essentially what it is? people always say "i want to tell the computer <i>what to do</i> not <i>how to do it</i>", and i feel like that ignores the fact that right now you are able to do that to some degree. in my chosen languages, i dont have to allocate memory when i make an array. isn't that me saying "i want an array, i dont care how you do it" and the computer obeying? help me understand how "goal oriented programming" is a difference in kind and not degree. to me, it just looks like an argument to walk higher up the ladder of abstraction.
