Whenever I hear complaints about a popular programming method, I have some real doubts. Modern software gets better every year.

There may be better ways, but what we have works.

I don't know if the modern world would be possible without OOP. If the only language in the world was Haskell, C, and SQL.... would I have actually learned them, or would I have chosen a different career? Would there be enough devs to have as much software as we do now?

It's hard to tell, because almost everything big is written using OOP. Few things on the scale of LibreOffice or Blink are pure functional.

And Java seems to work exceptionally well for large scale projects.
