I don't know if you're being serious or not, but you can learn a ton of FP without having to understand monads. Also asking to explain "objects" is too ambiguous. an "object" in json is very simple. OOP on the other hand involves a mountain of different concepts, design patterns, best practices, etc. I would guess GP is referring to that stuff.

You can learn a ton of OOP without having to dive into a mountain of different concepts too.

You can write OOP code without knowing a single pattern and whilst laughing at Factory classes you read in someone else's code. You might have to reinvent the wheel sometimes and face some difficulties talking with people that know every single pattern.

And there are best practices for every single language and paradigm.
