But the "programming" part of "dynamic programming" is the older synonym for "optimisation" like in linear or quadratic programming, not for writing general computer programs. It's not the same kind of "programming" as in OOP or FP.

In fact, many linear and quadratic programming problems are solved using dynamic programming. Go figure.
