Humanity has to accept that half of any population (including the team in our current workplace) is less intelligent than the other half. Then when we address a problem we have to accept that both halves will have to touch the problem at some stage in a project. Following this we need to aim for simplicity rather than complexity. With this in mind I think that both FP and OOP can be used to build simpler programs but that OOP has in the past failed in doing this. Basically I think we need to use tooling (in which I include languages and paradigms) that aim to come with less foot-guns and more safety rails.
