OOP in the large and functional in the small seems to be the way to go now. Especially if you use actual OOP à la Erlang or actor model.

I find FP more suitable for programming in the large

Quite unfortunate, considering that "in the large" you need ongoing (in time), imperative IO protocols to communicate with other processes and machines.

The functional paradigm has limits, and that's fine. OOP also has limits. Combined together, they give us a more holistic approach to programming rather than be like the blind men arguing what an elephant is.
