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:
“What is rational is actual and what is actual is rational. On this conviction the plain man like the philosopher takes his stand, and from it philosophy starts in its study of the universe of mind as well as the universe of nature.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
“I would love to meet a philosopher like Nietzsche on a train or boat and to talk with him all night. Incidentally, I don’t consider his philosophy long-lived. It is not so much persuasive as full of bravura.”
—Anton Pavlovich Chekhov (1860–1904)
“If mass communications blend together harmoniously, and often unnoticeably, art, politics, religion, and philosophy with commercials, they bring these realms of culture to their common denominator—the commodity form. The music of the soul is also the music of salesmanship. Exchange value, not truth value, counts.”
—Herbert Marcuse (1898–1979)
