Wait. What exactly is esoteric about these paradigms? All the books I've read simply call them regular paradigms.

I guess "uncommon" is increasingly used as one of the meanings of "esoteric"
You're correct that I'd not consider these esoteric, just not procedural or OO. Esoteric would be something like Brainf*, the music programming language, or that art language (forget the name). Unusual but still commercial and useful paradigms are logic, array, functional, and concatenative to name a few.
Piet. The Mondrian language I'm guessing
Yes that was it.
