I've spent the vast majority of my career in OO-centric projects, but between my experience in Javascript and Clojure I've begun to see OO as FP with a layer of syntactic sugar. Objects are just closures at the end of the day, after all.

The mental fun was when it dawned on me that most of the benefit from the FP I was falling in love with was coming not from FP itself, but from the liberal use of immutability... and that OOP can be written in a way that similarly embraces immutability.

I don't know if my OO code got better or worse from an outside perspective once I realized that, but it certainly made it easier for me to reason about my experimental side projects.
