If you trying to write FP in Python - you're in trouble. (Python is my main language for several years)

It does not have "mandatory OOP" but it remains as mainly imperative OO-language with some FP-goodness. C# is the same, Java - not.




If you try to do your entire program as pure FP then I guess that is true, but it's often possible and beneficial to do a lot of the work in a functional style.

Honestly though, this misses the point. If your language forces you to use an unsuitable paradigm, it's time to use another language if you can.
