"The CSP paradigm" comes from CSP: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communicating_sequential_proce... which predates the vast majority of Rob Pike's work (eg: before he went to Bell Labs).

Yes, that's the original inspiration. But Rob Pike has been implementing CSP ideas in different languages for a few decades now, and all that work has highly influenced the implementation in Go.

Obviously what OP meant is the implementation of it. Rob Pike mentioned Tony Hoare‘s work in almost every talk he gave about Go‘s concurrency.
