If a language has all variables being immutable, then the functional aspect of 
it is not something you can move away from, hence the functional aspect would 
not contribute to multi-paradigm-ness.

If I could use a language with mutable variables, or use that same language with 
immutable variables, then that would be multi-paradigm.
