* [[Imperative programming]]. The novel and unique approach to imperative programming in ATS is firmly rooted in the paradigm of programming with theorem-proving. The type system of ATS allows many features considered dangerous in other languages (e.g., explicit pointer arithmetic and explicit memory allocation/deallocation) to be safely supported in ATS, making ATS a viable programming langauge for low-level systems programming.
 
* [[Concurrent programming]]. ATS, equipped with a multicore-safe implementation of [[garbage collection]], can support multithreaded programming through thesafe use of pthreads. The availability of linear types for tracking and safely manipulating resources provides aan effective meansapproach to constructing reliable programs that can take great advantage of multicore architectures.
 
* [[Modular programming]]. The module system of ATS is largely infuenced by that of [[Modula-3]], which is both simple and general as well as effective in supporting large scale programming.
