Overview of Language Categories
There are several categories of programming languages, including: imperative, functional, logic, relational, procedural, object-oriented, expression-oriented, and scripting. Most currently used languages are not purely any one of these.

This course will not be structured by these categories, but by PL components that all, or most, PLs have.
