functional programming

Much in the way one who participates in heavy drinking, but can operate in normal society is a functional alcoholic: one who participates in heavy function use, but can program normal programs is doing functional programming. Functions, especially the more street available nested anonymous ones, are highly addictive and may make you want to abandon other forms of control flow entirely. Allows one to write code that operates on other code easily. Nerd Shit.

My favorite functional programming language is Idris, it's like Haskell but for nerds.

procedural programming

Procedural programming is a computer programming model built around the idea programs are sequences of instructions to be executed. They focus heavily on splitting up programs into named sets of instructions called procedures, analogous to functions.
This is different from object-oriented programming.

Some examples of procedural programming languages are: C, BASIC

Meatball Programming

"Meatball Programming" is to programming what "Meatball Surgery" was to surgery on the TV series M*A*S*H, which ran from 1972 to 1983.

It is a hasty, ad-hoc approach to coding in which quick fixes are implemented without proper planning, documentation, testing, or regard for long-term system stability. These fixes are pushed up to the Live environment in record time, and they are focused solely on immediate problem resolution.

Our website is down again. The boys in the back room are doing some meatball programming to get it working again before we piss off even more users.
