• Sure, it could come under the umbrella of "declarative programming", but that's an enormous umbrella, so that doesn't really say much.

• I fail to see how differentiable programming (the idea of expressing the desired computation in terms of differentiable objective functions) is any less of a "paradigm" than logic programming (the idea of expressing the desired computation in terms of logical predicates).

• Depending on the expressiveness of your programming language, every paradigm can seem like it's "a great use case of a library, but hardly worthy of being called a new programming paradigm."
