But neither of us were saying that, that's my point. I totally agree with you! But it's not bashing OOP from an FP angle or vice versa, it's that those paradigms (patterns I guess is a better descriptor, but that term has been co-opted a bit by OOP) each have a place. And within a multi-paradigm language both can be used together, and yes, dogmatic avoidance of one or the other is fairly widespread and a bit silly (and particularly silly when both are immediately available).
