Algoid is an educational language that allows the student to use different paradigms:

• Imperative
• Procedural
• Functional
• Recursive
• Object-oriented (multi-inheritance)
• Aspect-oriented programming.

It leads onto programming in industry standard language (such as C, Java and C++) and its syntax as close as possible to their respective syntaxes. It implements powerful idioms like meta-object protocol (from python) and cascade (from smalltalk).^[1]

To do this, the fundamental principles of Algoid are:

• A function is an expression.
• An object is an expression.
• An expression is an object.
• So a function is a meta-function and an object is a meta-object.^[1]
