Here is another approach of questionable classification of languages. :-)

A lazy functional program is demand driven, an imperative program is supply driven.

So is Haskell a Keynesian language and C++ a Say language?

Great, now we can talk about the Invisible Hand performing evaluations... Alice: "The Invisible Hand is holding up more memory than I thought. My program is using O(n) space just to compute length!" Bob: "You've violated Nash equilibrium!"
