Thank you so much for all the answers! There are a lot of them and I can't answer every single one, but I'm reading everything.

Functional Programming it's so interesting and a completely different paradigm that a lot of programmers overlook, but has pretty unique implementations. Right now pure functional languages like Elm seems a bit unnatural to me, but it's probably because I'm not used to it. As some people said, something in between (except for certain cases) seems the best approach for general use, I used a lot of React using functions instead of the old classes and everything seems more clear and intuitive, also makes the code less fragmented. Thanks! 👨‍💻
