OO and FP are paradigms. You can use any of them, or both of them, in any language.

You can use FP in Java, or OO in Haskell. That doesn't mean that they're equally usable paradigms.

I believe Scala had the goal of offering a high level of usability for both FP and OO. It failed despite an admirable effort, because of an incredible amount of language complexity.
