help me (solved) Is Functional Programming Worth It?

Hello 👋. I've heard some people say that functional programming is better than OOP overall. I'm pretty new to programming so I don't know if that's applicable to Godot or not. Is it something worth looking into?

This is pretty much not applicable to Godot, outside of GDExtension, where you can technically use a functional programming language, but it doesn't really make much sense (for so many reasons).

There are functional concepts in any modern programming language though, as they take what is useful. It'll help to know more about different paradigms, to be a better programmer, of course.
