| Jan 23, 2013 at 23:24 | comment | added | Cedric Martin | @Carson63000: Quite interestingly I just read an article that got published two days ago (i.e. 22 january 2013) by Neal Ford, in which he talks specifically about 4GLs. So even if the term is "obsolete", it's still useful to understand where we're coming from and... To read blog entries by great authors: nealford.com/memeagora/2013/01/22/… : ) | |

| Jan 13, 2013 at 0:49 | comment | added | Carson63000 | imho the whole 3GL/4GL question is obsolete terminology, I don't feel that those terms have been in serious currency since before the turn of the century. But certainly there is nothing about Clojure which would make me consider calling it anything other than a 3GL, thinking back to how we used those terms in the 90s. | |

| Jan 13, 2013 at 0:25 | comment | added | Cedric Martin | @Izkata: but it can mean both depending on the sentence, right? Reading the Wikipedia in more details, I find this "Functional programming is a subset of declarative programming"... So I think my interpretation of the sentence is correct. I'm still confused as how to classify Clojure regarding 1GL, 2GL, 3GL and 4GL. | |
