Yeah. Both OO and functional programming are useful, but trying to use any one 
paradigm exclusively always ends up contorting things. To make this clean, you 
really need to be able to mix and match paradigms as appropriate.

On a related note, a classic blog post that I quite like on how Java takes OO 
too far is

The balanced approach that C++ and D take is definitely the better one IMHO 
(and D tends to do it better IMHO, since it better supports functional 
programming than C++ does, meaning that you end up with fewer FP solutions in 
C++ even when they'd be appropriate).
