procedural vs platform specific

I'm not sure that "platform specific" is the right term. Usually "platform specific" is used to describe source code that is architecture specific (x86, PPC, or MIPS; Linux, Win32, IRIX). This becomes very strange when Java is thrown in the mix, because it is described as a architecture-agnostic platform, platform independent, and cross-platform.

On the other hand, procedural programming is the reality of the microprocessor, and is what high level languages like Executable UML attempt to abstract away. The opposite is declarative programming, and in my opinion Executable UML fits within that bucket. Jayvdb 11:32, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
