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:
“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)
“The very hope of experimental philosophy, its expectation of constructing the sciences into a true philosophy of nature, is based on induction, or, if you please, the a priori presumption, that physical causation is universal; that the constitution of nature is written in its actual manifestations, and needs only to be deciphered by experimental and inductive research; that it is not a latent invisible writing, to be brought out by the magic of mental anticipation or metaphysical mediation.”
—Chauncey Wright (1830–1875)
“Observing him in these moods, I often dwelt meditatively upon the old philosophy of the Bi-Part Soul, and amused myself with the fancy of a double Dupin—the creative and the resolvent.”
—Edgar Allan Poe (1809–1849)
