  Rapid technological progress in computer sciences finds solutions and at the
same time creates ever more complex requirements. Due to an evolving complexity
todays programming languages provide powerful frameworks which offer standard
solutions for recurring tasks to assist the programmer and to avoid the
re-invention of the wheel with so-called out-of-the-box-features. In this
paper, we propose a way of comparing different programming paradigms on a
theoretical, technical and practical level. Furthermore, the paper presents the
results of an initial comparison of two representative programming approaches,
both in the closed SAP environment.
