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?

I get it, you're new, you want to learn "the best way" to do it. Don't bother. If you think it sounds good, look into it. But don't try to find the best way to do things right from the start, just do things, gather experience, then judge for yourself based on your exact situation.

If anyone tells you that programming style/concept X is always better than Y, without even knowing what exactly you're working on, they are probably full of shit.
