If you're looking for SERIOUS multiparadigmaticity, I think Oz may be best -- <http://www.info.ucl.ac.be/people/PVR/book.html> (the book's authors critique the vagueness of the "paradigm" concept, and prefer "model", but that's much the same thing).
according to the language shootout at
http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/benchmark.php?test=all&lang=all&sort=cpu
Mozart/Oz comes last in cpu score. I suspect that may be due to unfamilarity or poor implementation of the test codes. Everybody 'knows' that benchamrks are always wrong, but which score moves this language to the top in your opinion?
He's talking of just "multiparadigmaticality", not efficiency.
The mozart/Oz platform have a stronger point on stuff like constraint/logic/declarative concurren/etc programming, more than most of the CL frameworks (not that this is hard in CL, it's just not as central as in Oz). Btw, I think AliceML (which just hit 1.0) would be better than Oz, if accompaniying with python, just to have a dynamic/static contrast :)
