OOP tends to encourage thinking in more abstract ways than is often necessary imho. I feel like learning a language with only structs had a positive effect on my coding ability (as someone who more or less started with Java). The few times I had to use Java afterwards I felt the same - all OOP features were unnecessary or at least didn't feel like the most straightforward approach. Nowadays I never use classes in Python, JS etc., it's just not needed - and in the case of Python it makes JSON insanely cumbersome.
