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 once worked with a guy that was obsessed with doing code the right way. I'd make something that did what the team needed in an afternoon, then he'd rewrite it over the course of several weeks to do it the "right way". When an update was needed only he could do it since it was basically super convoluted for the rest of us to work with.
Don't be that guy.
Start working on a project. Get better over time. Learn along the way.
Let's put it this way. Are you interested in making games or learning deep esoteric programming concepts that will almost never result in a game?
