This dimension sorts programming languages by their paradigm, imperative, functional, object oriented or logic. Wikipedia notes that "most imperative languages" were "designed around the ubiquitous von Neumann architecture," one paradigm among several that shape how a language is actually written. Browsing by paradigm keeps languages that share the same style of programming grouped together.
