I have the books: "Handbook of Programming Languages" (a four volume set), which are available used through Amazon or Half.com for low prices. (And I recommend them to readers here.) Volume 1 is Object-Oriented Programming Languages, and volume 2 is Imperative Programming Languages. (Vol. 1 is about twice the size of vol. 2.) For that reason, I tended to think of imperative as exclusive from object-oriented. Not that you can't, or shouldn't, write imperative programs in OO languages, but that it wouldn't be used as a term in the description. (Or, why is it that vol. 2 isn't called "Non-Object Oriented Languages"?) -- glen [I've always thought of OOP as being orthogonal to imperative, declarative, or functional. But I'm not sure how much it matters. Are there any functional OOP languages? -John]
