Paradigms

LunyScratch applies the following programming paradigms, in order of prominence:

1. Declarative Programming - The code declares what should happen using high-level abstractions (Repeat.Forever, When.Input, Run.AtOnce) rather than explicit loops and conditionals.

2. Event-Driven Programming - Event handling similar to Scratch but more powerful: When.Collision.Enter(), When.Button.Clicked(), Input.Key.IsJustPressed().

3. Functional Programming - Functions as first-class values, composition of sequences (Run(HideMenu(), ShowHUD())), and chaining operations without side effects being explicit (Prefab["GoldCube"].Spawn().At(Other).Amount(3)).

4. Visual/Block Programming (conceptual) - The API mimics block-based programming paradigms (like Scratch), using named blocks as building blocks rather than traditional control structures.
