I see is nice, and does really nice job on whats designed to.

But I need to have the option to use OOP, so a functional-only lang wont do it for me.

Once you get the hang of functional languages you barely miss the objects.

I came from a strong OO background myself, so it was very strange at first, but it wasn't too bad after a while.

You can make any OO language functional if you make all your methods static 🤣

Hi Juan, thanks for response. What is a reason that you need to use OOP?
