> Weird how many large OOP codebases there are to find oneself working on and how few large FP ones.

How on earth is that weird when OOP is a hundred times more popular than FP?



The point is to ask why OOP is a hundred times more popular if, according to FP advocates, it's so much worse as a paradigm.


Inertia is a powerful thing. Look at how many people still use C and C++ (and Java!) despite there being arguably better alternatives.
