  You should have a look at the proceedings of the worshop on
Programming Paradigms in Graphics, that attempts to answer your
question in the field of computer graphics, but for a wider range of
languages (object-oriented, functional, constraint, parallel, logic,
data-flow, genetic...). I co-wrote a paper on the graphical toolkit
provided with the Life language (mentioned earlier in this newsgroup)
published in the latest edition (the 5th, September 95).
