Functional programming does not prevent you from using objects

Stop listening to functional programming bros. Watch someone like Zoran Horvat. While I can't cosign all of his opinions, he tries to bridge the functional/OOP gap for OOP programmers. OOP programmers urgently need to distance themselves from this binary narrative. Everyone should understand functional programming and how they can utilize functional approaches in every language or paradigm. For me it is a requirement of understanding software development.

Absolutely every institution teaches OOP practices, they also need to teach functional practices. These aren't sports teams.

Well said and good institutions have been teaching both for decades.
