- A designer might use HTML/CSS/JS directly or with "low code" tools (AKA graphical IDEs, they are still essentially programming) to implement frontends or a bit of scripting to automate stuff in their Adobe tools.
- An analyst might use Excel (a programming environment) or SQL or some hybrid tool.
- Mathematicians and scientists are increasingly programming.
- An electrical technician or engineer programs their installations.
- And so on...
There isn't one paradigm or even a set of paradigms that fits them all. Some languages are deliberately straight forward and provide minimal abstractions, other languages have strong runtime guarantees, others enable flexible, composable abstractions.
I think programming will become even more diverse in the future.
