This reminded me of the Programming Paradigms Poster: https://www.info.ucl.ac.be/~pvr/paradigmsDIAGRAMeng108.jpg

ah yes, the chart in which they just put "Oz" and "Alice" under every box

ctrl-c, ctrl-v issue ...

Well spotted. The reason is that this chart's author is the designer of Oz, which is a multi-paradigm language if there ever was one, as is reflected in the chart, and the design of which is painstakingly and very well explained in his book, "Concepts, Techniques, Models of Computer Programming".

The book referred to by this diagram, "Concepts, Techiques, and Models of Computer Programming" is actually quite related to TFA too.

I.e. the book starts with a basic language and extends it in different ways to gain more espressive potential, i.e. HOFs, lazyness, state, different concurrency primitives, logic programming, constraint solving etc.

It's a big book, but it's wonderful.
