I think the communication problem here is that you’re arguing against the notion that FP is a silver bullet, but no one here has made that argument, so it sounds like you’re arguing that OOP is superior. I buck pretty hard at this because everything uniquely OOP (e.g., inheritance) is generally only problematic. And OOPproponents love pointing out that good OOP programmers don’t use these bad features/idioms/etc or they only use them where they don’t cause problems, in which case their code ends up looking the same as it would in any non-OOP imperative language (e.g., Go).
