Yeah, I'm having trouble seeing how Rust/Nim/Gleam can be written in a logic programming style (like Prolog or Datalog).

At minimum, that means there are _two_ paradigms: logic programming and "beyond paradigms"....which sorta means that we're not really beyond paradigms now, are we?

I think the reality is that certain previously-niche paradigms became cool again, and folks started grabbing off some of the most-visible pieces of those paradigms (pattern-matching, ADTs, map/reduce/filter, maybe even a pipeline operator) and adapting them to other paradigms.
