A multi-paradigm programming language allows, as described by Stroustrup, "[a program] using more than one programming style". An example is C++ which handles both object-oriented and generic programming.
Another example is Oz,
which has subsets that are a logic language (Oz descends from
logic programming), a functional language, an object-oriented language,
a dataflow concurrent language, and so forth. Oz was designed over a ten-year period
to combine in a harmonious way concepts that are traditionally associated
with different programming paradigms.
