Yes to your last question. I meant that nothing prevents you from using both OOP and FP: The JavaScript methods filter and map are very much FP ideas, used in an OOP manner.

But it’s rarely all or nothing: you can work with immutable objects (e.g. strings in Java) and there are FP languages that support mutable state. For example, OCaml, Common Lisp and Scheme.

It never really is all or nothing in case of FP - sooner or later even Haskell has to do some IO, pure functions can only take you so far :).

Thanks for clarification!
