I suppose that since one is still only talking about the external interface to any given hw execution unit (gpu, alu, fpu) one could always present it in whatever format was useful or trendy.
But I'll contend that it's much more productive to basically wrap low-level functionality as modules that higher-level languages could compose.
One could then optimize individual modules.
The mechanism of composition should lay it out as desired in memory for best efficiency, and hence the probably need for a layout step, presuming precompiled modules.
(it could use 'ld', for example)
i'm not sure how you would optimize memory layout for black-boxes, but perhaps some standard interface..
Most people here are doing this already without knowing it, if you look into the dependencies of your higher level programming tools and kit.
End of the day OOP is a code-organization technique.
FP is too. They are both useful. We still have complexity.
Some poster above needing actor models etc, depends upon the scale I suppose.
If one is considering a distributed healthcare application, or is one trying to get audio/video not to glitch etc.
