From the conclusion:

The data indicates functional languages are better than procedural languages; it suggest that strong typing is better than weaking typic; that static typing is better than dynamic; and that managed memory usage is better than unmanaged.

Obviously not the last word, but interesting study nonetheless.



The worst outcome was for Procedural-Static-Weak-Unmanaged, aka C and C++. There is no OO category, since most OO languages can be (and are) used in a procedural style.


Because there are no Procedural-Dynamic-Weak-Unmanaged languages :)


Forth! (I haven't read the paper.)


Forth is untyped, not dynamically typed. ;)
