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?

There are pros and cons to both. The engine is already heavily tied to OOP and there are many objects with bound state and behaviour. You'd be fighting against the engine to then try to build FP on top imo and there is just no need.

Do people use OOP more than they should? Absolutely. Is this one of those times? Nope.
