The programming course at my university taught us the fundamental paradigmens. The languages were chosen only as examples.

Imperativ / OOP => Java

Functional => Haskell

Logic => Prolgo

i think a better analogy would be [programming techniques as "musical ideas", programming languages as instruments]. you can pick an instrument that fits what want to do, or build a new one if you know how :)

Sounds like you are talking of lisp.
