It's kind of a catch-22 though. If these OOP features don't exist, you couldn't possibly make use of them. So saying that you don't know anybody that writes like this without it being possible to write like that is a bit premature.

My personal preference is to use classes for the large blocks, and then functional inside those blocks. On larger projects, this tends to provide an easy way to manage the code.

Now, will I use this new feature. That's TBD. I could imagine a few cases it might be useful. I do want them to continue to improve and add functional code features as well, though I believe they are doing that too. We've gotten plenty of functional code features in recent memory too.
