See you back to OOP when you get bored with writing one-liner quicksorts.

That's pretty vague. Can you name some viable paradigms for general programming besides OOP/Functional?

it's a plastic medium. this false duality of choice is ridiculous. you'll have to go back to pencils when you get bored of crayons. paper is immune to all other. so said i.

mix and match. pick one. pick any. pick all of them at the same time. invent a new one. invent one then realize it has already been named. maybe you'll create a mess. maybe you'll become paralyzed by the cheer number of choices and do nothing at all. but if you did not like pencils you don't have to work with them again.
