I think a lot of developer don't really understand OOP, and as a result they mess it up. In many ways functional programming is more straight forward, easier to get your head around it, but you can still mess it up just as much. I feel your statement above is a little naive. You should read some Martin Fowler. Be less reactive and more informed. Find balance. Software systems, regardless of methodology, need good experienced designers There is no silver bullet. |

The major functional languages all come from academic backgrounds, and it shows. They're very principled, and a lot of thought is put into designing languages that are clean and actively encourage you to write clean code.
The major object-oriented languages, by contrast, tend to come out of non-academic environments. Their design was often compromised by pragmatic concerns (C++, Java), or by their being hobby languages being designed by folks for whom Barbara Liskov maybe isn't a household name. I don't want to hate on these languages too much - C++ and Java and Python and Ruby make the world turn, after all, and I suspect that's partially because they let you get away with so much. But they are what they are.
