This. We teach coding, we start with logic, then move onto functions, then OOP, then patterns, then back to functional. Then it's up to the student or the business to make a choice. Saying that you don't think OOP is as good as functional programming is like, part of the course. Some people like it, some don't, most mix and match. 90% don't care enough to write blog posts.

The blog post feels like a short essay I may get from a student. shrug .... there's lots of nice research on the order in which to teach the elements of programming, lots of people say start with OOP and then do functions, as that's the more natural progression. Personally I disagree and teach it the way I described. But both are valid.
