Magic Potion: Incorporating New Development Paradigms through Metaprogramming

Software environments are typically based on a single programming paradigm, such as ontologies, functions, objects, or concurrency. This can limit what developers can represent and how elegant their solutions can be, so today´s applications usually involve mixing and matching languages, platforms, and paradigms. However, cross-mapping multiple paradigms and platforms generates an impedance mismatch that increases a solution´s complexity. Metaprogramming supports a lightweight process to incorporate different programming paradigms in a single development environment that´s suitable for small development teams.
