A programmer who hasn't been exposed to all four of the imperative, functional, objective, and logical programming styles has one or more conceptual blindspots. It's like knowing how to boil but not fry.

-Tom Christiansen

I did some research on this and thought that what I found my be of help to others:

Examples of functional programming languages:
* APL, Erlang, Haskell, Lisp, ML, Oz and Scheme.

Examples of Imperative programming languages:
* Fortran and Algol. Others include Pascal, C, and Ada, Perl.

Examples of objective programming languages:
* C++, ruby, python, perl.

Examples of logical programming languages:
* Prolog
