I'm really surprised there isn't some paper proving that OOP and functional are two manifestations of the same thing. For example this article on how category theory can be implemented in OOP - using Java as the example reperiendi.wordpress.com/2007/11/0...
Mostly via interfaces.
I also think it's interesting to note that Martin Odersky designed Scala as a "fusion of functional and object oriented paradigms". The reasons for that are partly to ease the learning curve and to enable compatibility with existing Java (and .NET, whatever happened to Scala.Net?) although more importantly to create a composable, modular, scalable language that benefits from the best of multiple paradigms. Essentially, Scala is not a Functional only language, by design.
