I think there's too much attention payed to ideologies in programming. OOP is bad but only because it is so demanding in its scope. Everything in programming is really just a set of tools, so who is deciding which tools I am to use all the time? The flaw in OOP is simply that a lot of things do not need to be instances. Fewer instances of different things, fewer problems. If you want to perform a mutation on an object, it's best to pass that object into a mutator and get your mutated object on the other side. I shouldn't need an instance of a mutator, which gets I suppose attached to the object I want to mutate. That adds all kinds of (in this comment unspecified) unnecessary and really useless complexity.
