A comprehensive collection of Python programs that solve the same term-frequency task using many different programming styles, each with documented constraints. It accompanies the book 'Exercises in Programming Style' and is used in programming courses.

Use cases

  • learn different programming styles
  • study how coding constraints shape program design
  • find examples of styles like monolithic, pipeline, or actors
  • supplement reading the Exercises in Programming Style book
  • teach a course on programming paradigms
  • practice writing code under stylistic constraints

When to choose

  • you want to explore many programming paradigms through one simple task
  • you are teaching or studying programming style and design
  • you want a hands-on companion to the book

When to avoid

  • you need production-ready term frequency code
  • you want solutions in languages other than Python
  • you expect a maintained library with an API
