I'm going to be That Guy and suggest you give Rust a try. It's got the best of imperative and functional mixed in.

The implication being that OO is the same thing is imperative? I'm in strong disagreement with that!

I've tried to learn rust a few times, but never with much tenacity. It's on my list because it seems to hit a good point wrt expressiveness and performance.

Not what I meant, no.

In oversimplified terms, Rust has objects but not classes. It skews more toward: - from a C dev's perspective: data-driven design - from a Haskell dev's perspective: typeclasses and ADTs
