programming language A programming language is a system of notation for writing computer programs. Most programming languages are text-based formal languages, but they may also be graphical. They are a kind of computer language. The description of a programming l ...

can be derived from ARS even the three major programming paradigms:

functional programming In computer science, functional programming is a programming paradigm where programs are constructed by applying and composing functions. It is a declarative programming paradigm in which function definitions are trees of expressions that ...

object-oriented programming Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm based on the concept of " objects", which can contain data and code. The data is in the form of fields (often known as attributes or ''properties''), and the code is in the form of ...

imperative programming In computer science, imperative programming is a programming paradigm of software that uses statements that change a program's state. In much the same way that the imperative mood in natural languages expresses commands, an imperative program co ...

is a demonstration that, based on ARS, programming patterns can be developed that are very powerful, providing a solid base for solving common programming problems. ARS-based programming as covered in the book ''Programmierung pur'' (''Undiluted Programming'' or ''Barebones Programming'') published in German under the (the English rights are available now) is facilitated by three tools: A++, ARS++, and ARSAPI. #
