That might be a bit of a howler, given that :

if "procedural" and "functional" are the only options possible, then "not-procedural" implies "functional",
and "functional" implies that no variables exist that outlive the lifetime of the functional program,
and the most important target for which the concept of MA has been invented, is a DBVAR,
which is a variable that outlives the lifetime of any executing program by definition. Received on Sat Apr 02 2011 - 17:56:25 CEST
