Paradigm Tree Project Plan¶

Paradigm Tree Project Plan¶

This checklist tracks the full workflow for completing The Genealogy of Code – Paradigm Tree Project.

You will complete 20 paradigm branches and visualize them using Python.

Phase I — Build the Paradigm Tree¶

Imperative Trunk (HOW programs execute)

[✅] 1. Assemble Machine Code branch
[✅] 2. Assemble Assembly branch
[✅] 3. Assemble Procedural branch
[✅] 4. Assemble Structured Programming branch
[✅] 5. Assemble Object-Oriented Programming branch
[✅] 6. Assemble Component-Based Programming branch
[✅] 7. Assemble Event-Driven Programming branch
[✅] 8. Assemble Concurrent Programming branch
[✅] 9. Assemble Parallel Programming branch
[✅] 10. Assemble Scripting Languages branch

Declarative Trunk (WHAT the program describes)

[✅] 11. Assemble Functional Programming branch
[✅] 12. Assemble Pure Functional Programming branch
[✅] 13. Assemble Logic Programming branch
[✅] 14. Assemble Constraint Programming branch
[✅] 15. Assemble Query Programming branch
[✅] 16. Assemble Dataflow Programming branch
[✅] 17. Assemble Reactive Programming branch
[✅] 18. Assemble Probabilistic Programming branch
[✅] 19. Assemble Domain-Specific Languages (DSL) branch
[✅] 20. Assemble AI Programming Languages branch

Phase II — Populate Each Branch (Timeline Trios)¶

For each of the 20 paradigms, research and record:

[✅] Originator (first language in the paradigm)
[✅] Industry Titan (most used today)
[✅] Neonate (post-2020 modern language)

Total Languages Required: 20 × 3 = 60

Phase III — Collect Required Data for Each Language¶

For every one of the 60 languages, fill in:

[✅] Date Started
[✅] Genealogy (language family)
[✅] Environment (OS, cloud, browser, etc.)
[✅] Activity Status (actively used?)
[✅] Career Note (what industry uses it)

Phase IV — Store the Dataset¶

[✅] Choose storage format (CSV or Database)
[✅] Create paradigm_languages.csv or languages.db
[✅] Enter all 60 languages
[✅] Verify data is clean and readable

Phase V — Python Visualization Program¶

[✅] Load data from CSV or database
[✅] Group languages by Paradigm
[✅] Build tree structure in Python
[✅] Export image as paradigm_tree.png

Phase VI — Sphinx Documentation¶

[✅] Add CSV to Sphinx project
[✅] Display CSV with .. csv-table::
[✅] Insert generated tree image

Phase VII — Final Submission¶

[✅] Hand-drawn Paradigm Tree poster
[✅] Completed CSV or database
[✅] Python program
[✅] Generated tree image
[✅] Ability to explain the code
