  Thanks for the link. That made my day. =) Here's a more realistic comparison between classic Java OOP design vs the more data-oriented approach to design encouraged in functional languages like Clojure for a simple board game: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tb823aqgX_0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tb823aqgX_0 TL;DW: The classic OOP design of the board game ended up with 22 classes, 11 interfaces, 1 enum in total, with 271 lines of pure skeleton code with no implementation of any game logic whatsoever. The class diagram can be seen here for a better sense of the complexity involved: https://youtu.be/Tb823aqgX_0?t=688 https://youtu.be/Tb823aqgX_0?t=688 The data-oriented design had 31 functions, longest of which is 7 lines, with a grand total of 144 lines of code that implements the entirety of the game logic.
