Maybe logical are subset of functional? (Score:1)

by Crag (6470) on 2005.11.27 15:24 (#44863)

I'm not as deeply into languages as I'd like to be, but my understanding is that functional and logical languages both express activities in terms of relationships and transformations.

I don't think it's useful to include logical programming as a full-fledged programming paradigm. I'd say it's more of a design pattern like state machines, stack-based evaluators and the like. I think we're just being mis-led by the crazy people who went as far as to design entire languages around the pattern.
