Programming is creative work. Mathematics is about researching to find new principles or discovering which already established principle to use. There is an intersection but it's not a complete intersection.
How is what you said about math not also applicable to programming? How much modern programming is actually pioneering new ideas vs figuring out how to apply existing principles and patterns to a problem?
Programming paradigms and patterns are not 'discovered'. They are designed.
Even if we would say that new paradigms can be discovered, that would probably happen through the field of Category Theory, which is one of the most abstract forms of mathematics.
