2019 is the year we stop writing “pure” functional or object-oriented code, and go back to getting shit done.

Any project of significant size, no matter what programming language it’s written in, will have places where OO techniques make sense & places where functional techniques make sense.

It’s ok to have classes with no data of their own and a single method called “run.” It’s ok to have functions that own data & mutate it. Breathe! And get shit done.

I mean I totally agree, so I'm not throwing shade here, but what year was it when we actually wrote pure functional code? I'm over here counting it as a win that I've got my team accepting basic lambdas in Java.
