1970s-1980s: Procedural

void process_data(int *data, int size) {
    for (int i = 0; i < size; i++) {
        data[i] *= 2;
    }
}

C++

1990s-2000s: Object-Oriented

class DataProcessor {
    public:
        void process(std::vector<int>& data) {
            for (auto& val : data) val *= 2;
        }
}

Python

2000s-2010s: Improvement of expressiveness

def process_data(data):
    return [x * 2 for x in data]

Rust

2010s-2020s: Memory Security

fn process_data(data: &mut Vec<i32>) {
    data.iter_mut().for_each(|x| * x *= 2);
}
