I don't take sides on paradigms, languages, etc.

And yet you do when you say a particular paradigm succeeds in being useful for a given domain/problem ;p

There's nothing wrong with utilitarianism, but it is a philosophy like any other. As is nihilism, much despite trying to say nothing. All I'm saying is that my utility-o-dar consistently rates FP higher than OOP (except in a few rare aforementioned cases).
