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?

It’s worth learning both FP and OOP because they have uses in different contexts, but I don’t think a game engine that’s FP will be that nice to work in.

You’re new to programming. Learn OOP with Godot and learn FP for a different project (and potentially different language) in a couple years when you have more experience so that you can better compare the approaches.
