Exactly. Starting points matter. And for me, a starting point of "enforces immutable data" is a good one.

Starting points matter, but this depends on the programming situation. That's why you use OOP or FP where it is most appropriate or suitable. Neither OOP nor FP is a panacea. Neither OOP nor FP is the universal programming tool.
