Philosophy
Rather than focusing on one programming style or paradigm, Falcon merges several different styles into a single framework. At the same time, it targets multiple application domains (stand-alone, embedded into other applications and server-side dynamic pages), merging them into a single hood of a common architectural design.
At the implementation level, Falcon is driven by the concept of service, where the scripting engine is seen as a service for scripts, modules and in embedded applications when not used as a stand-alone tool.

Famous quotes containing the word philosophy:
“The philosophy of action for action, power for the sake of power, had become an established orthodoxy. Thou has conquered, O go-getting Babbitt.”
—Aldous Huxley (18941963)
“How can you tell if you discipline effectively? Ask yourself if your disciplinary methods generally produce lasting results in a manner you find acceptable. Whether your philosophy is democratic or autocratic, whatever techniques you usereasoning, a star chart, time-outs, or spankingif it doesnt work, its not effective.”
—Stanley Turecki (20th century)
“Why does philosophy use concepts and why does faith use symbols if both try to express the same ultimate? The answer, of course, is that the relation to the ultimate is not the same in each case. The philosophical relation is in principle a detached description of the basic structure in which the ultimate manifests itself. The relation of faith is in principle an involved expression of concern about the meaning of the ultimate for the faithful.”
—Paul Tillich (18861965)
