Abandoned OO paradigm to functionalism? I didn't know there was a holy war going on with programming paradigms these days :-P (that was a joke)
To me, paradigms are tools. If the situation calls for a flat-head screwdriver then use the flat-head. Don't try to fit a Phillips-head screwdriver into a flat-head socket, otherwise you just break the screw (and your programming project).
OO might be good for larger programs whose solution is amenable and is solved simply in an OO way. Solving the same problem in an old-style non-OO way (like with the language C, for example) would probably produce something so convoluted and spaghetti as to be almost unmaintainable.
