OO and FP are paradigms. You can use any of them, or both of them, in any language.

scarmig on March 22, 2021 [–]

You can use FP in Java, or OO in Haskell. That doesn't mean that they're equally usable paradigms.

I believe Scala had the goal of offering a high level of usability for both FP and OO. It failed despite an admirable effort, because of an incredible amount of language complexity.
