Dear Mr. Williams,

The phrase "interpreted", when applied to languages, is nonsensical.
Think about it for a minute and it should be clear to you.

The notion of programming language paradigms is also, in my opinion,
largely nonsensical:

I'm sure you have the best of intentions, but I have no idea what it
is you're actually trying to accomplish -- in particular, why are you
trying to reconstruct information that is already abundantly available
on the Web?
