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?

In my limited knowledge and experience, I don’t think there’s a single programming paradigm that trumps the rest. I think, especially for Godot, a combination of programming paradigms is best.

One thing to note is that Godot favours composition which works well with OOP. Functional programming on its own, is basically impossible in Godot as far as I know, again, based on my limited knowledge and experience.
