I've dealt with python noob codebase that had many deep side effects over multiple (~2000loc total) files. The overall logic fit into a single page, bugproof and easy to augment using FP idioms.

Yet people want to stick with a "style".

Crazy.

Exactly, I have many discussions with a front end dev about this sort of thing. Our fe team uses angular so is very class focused.

I use classes to but that doesn't mean I can't be functional inside them.

It is annoying when devs religiously stuck to a style even if that makes to code base worse
