It's not crazy at all, especially since majority of programming is about digitalization of real world things/processed.

eBay, Tinder, Youtube, Robinhood, etc, etc.

Those are all real world things that are now represented in digital world and adjusted for that.

Also "world" doesn't imply "physical", but that's different matter.

And at the end of the day that was not wildly crazy, but wildly successful!

Such school of thinking enabled generations of software engineers who created all this digital world.



Wildy successful does not mean a good idea.

Same could be said for imperative or functional programming for that matter.


As far as I know OOP has orders of magnitude higher market share than FP.

Sure, but if there was FP instead of OOP, then would current digital world be better, as big, safer?

Who knows?
