I know that a lot of universities (mine included) introduce programming through object oriented programming so this could be a problem for a lot of people going into university without much if any programming experience, much like I did. I've been interested lately and reading more about functional programming though.


Through object oriented programming or through a programming language that can do it? Many programming introductions start with mostly procedural/imperative, while using a language that has OO (and which is then introduced later in detail).

Totally agreed on other paradigms not being teached enough though.
