As a mathy person myself, I find the OOP leaning difficult to think about. Better equational reasoning, better lambdas, fewer side effects to worry about, avoiding mutation so that I can define something and still know what it is later during runtime, those are what help me think clearly. To me OOP is about the furthest paradigm from math that I’ve used.
You’re right, it’s not good for math, but unfortunately we have the legacy of AI / ML being entrenched into that ecosystem, with no clear leaders as alternatives.
