Yeah but the question is which one of these types are more "program-y" Functional programming while a valid form, is inherently better expressed by constraining the possible use cases. It's closer to electrical engineering or mechanics then "programming." "Programming" inherently rewards extendability, interoperability and readability, therefore it rewards OOP. Now obviously computers have Both mechanical and extendable use cases so it's up in the air. Stuff that's written better functionally tends to be optimized into oblivion very quickly, it becomes more of a hardware/math/physics problem. But you know that's fun too.
