I've always had better luck restricting FP to using things like map, reduce, filter, (etc) inside methods as an implementation detail, but having the structure of the app use OOP.

Incidently that is how FP in done in Smalltalk as well.

All those methods, and reactive patterns (Observer and such) were already present in Smalltalk-80.
