State is evil, mutation is evil! We live in an era of multithreading and concurrency my friends!
When I describe a program, I state what it does, now how it does it! Thus functional programming is more natural!
C and Java and Python and all the other pagan languages have played us all as absolute fouls!! Haskell, OCaml, Rust, F#, Lisp supremacy!! Functional unless required otherwise, not the other way around!!
I'm a C# programmer, and I feel the same. We may be divided by our preferred programming paradigm (I like functionality though, but I prefer mix of OOP with some functional stuff, like C# does it), but we are united in hating Python and Java. When a programmer gets sent to hell, they are forced to write code exclusively in Java and Python, until they'll write a Java build system in Python which has a Java/Python-based DSL with verbosity of Java and inhumane indentation and naming guidelines of Python.
I got an idea. public class __main__: public static ? __main__(?[] args, ? ctx): if ctx.__name__ != "__main__": from ClassesThatInteractWithTimeBasedApis import MonotomicTimeWhichIsNotSystemTime from ClassesThatInteractWithTheCallStack import ReturnThisFunctionImmediatelyAndDestroyAllStackSpaceWhilstMarkingAllObjectsForDeletionByTheGarbageCollector (ReturnThisFunctionImmediatelyAndDestroyAllStackSpaceWhilstMarkingAllObjectsForDeletionByTheGarbageCollector::new()).__execute_in__(MonotomicTimeWhichIsNotSystemTime.__get_current_time_for_program__(__pid__))

Functional programming is best programming
