Abstract

This paper presents a discussion of why languages that support multiple paradigms (i.e. multiparadigm languages) have the potential to be good pedagogical tools for teaching programming skills. Several examples are given that demonstrate how different programming paradigms are expressed in a working multiparadigm language. The examples, though brief, provide a glimpse of how much expressiveness a simple multiparadigm design can embody and they suggest that the potential role of multiparadigm languages as teaching tools is promising.
