I think the point is to not force any single paradigm. OOP is what is being forced today, but it would also be bad if the industry forced functional programming. Large programs typically call for multiple styles of programming. One piece may suit an imperative style, another functional, another logic/relational, another object-oriented, etc. In general, I think OOP is nearly always the wrong tool, though.
- emerongi 11y agoI'm in university right now and there is an object-oriented programming course (which is required by most other advanced courses), but no functional programming course. That shows how skewed the industry is. It's a pretty forward-thinking university as well. OOP is sometimes the right tool, but most times it definitely is not. It's important to be able to know your tools and choose the right one. The current situation is disappointing though.
