Book search: PL history and paradigms

Max Leske
I'm looking for a good book on programming language history with a focus on the different paradigms (e.g. imperative, functional, …). Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Max

Peter Van Roy's and Seif Haridi' "Concepts, Techniques, and Models of
Computer Programming" [1] has loads on the different paradigms and
comparing them. Not a lot on the _history_ of those though.

ACM's HOPL conferences would provide the history of particular languages.

Between those two sources you ought to be able to construct something
like what you need by mapping CTM's "this model uses these paradigms"
to the HOPL papers.

I have not read the book, but seeing the principal programming paradigm poster makes me think about how good it is because Java and Smalltalk are wrongly categorized, at least for what I understand of the poster (java with closure, smalltalk not in the message passing category)

Re: Book search: PL history and paradigms

Frank Shearar-3
Well, objects are closures, so it makes sense to say that Java has
closures. It doesn't have _lightweight_ closures with a decent syntax,
but it does still have closures!

Message passing is "message passing concurrency", which isn't the
"message passing" in "message passing vs method invocation".

Of course, the chart isn't meant to imply that some language X with
paradigms A, B and C can't support paradigm D: you can, for instance,
implement the logic programming paradigm in Scheme (miniKanren),
Clojure (core.logic) and, well, not in Smalltalk yet (other than the
embedded Prologs) because I haven't finished Nutcracker yet!
