Personally I think the paradigm is not the right battle. OO is a child of modular programming, with other ingredients but to me the real pain point is aiming at low coupling subsystems to be able to iterate at low cost and navigate unknown problems or adapt to customer/market changes. There's also the middle layer trick (ala middle ground DSLs). But the goal is the same, ability to converge quickly on a proper solution. Something I rarely see talked about (but my radar has a short scope)
