  That's a classical argument but it doesn't add anything ever other than pleasing everyone. It's a centerist opinion of programming. Sometimes opinions are great to get everyone on the same table even if for some usage, some things might not be appropriate.

    > Sometimes opinions are great to get everyone on the same table I think opinions generally achieve the opposite of that. That said, if you're sitting at the table where everybody believes in FP, you should wholeheartedly apply FP principles - or find another table. That's part of "do what makes sense, where it makes sense". The really good thing about OOP though is that nobody really believes in it anymore. That opens up the opportunity to take some good ideas and insights and apply them undogmatically. FP has good ideas and insights as well, but it's more difficult to separate those from the cargo cult surrounding it.
