But it only uses *one* syntax and core set of concepts to
cover all of those. Unlike, apparently, Falcon... take a
look at this page concerning how Falcon approaches functional
programming (but don't look for too long or your eyes may
begin to bleed...)

http://falconpl.org/index.ftd?page_id=sitewiki&prj_id=_falcon_site&sid=wiki&pwid=Survival%20Guide&wid=Survival%3AFunctional+programming

Falcon seems to collect programming paradigms the way Perl
collects language features, i.e. by just munging them all
together and bending parts until they fit.
