Meanwhile people wo aren't that arrogant and mix OOP and functional programming whenever they feel like it (Symfony, Rails, Django, Zope) are kicking the collective asses of old-school hardcore 100% polymorphic OOP bloat advocates up and down the street (Java).
The mentioned frameworks (and their associated languages) do not allow one to do "functional programming" (unless you mean something really stupid by that). Also I seriously wonder in what way the rails etc people are "kicking the collective asses" of the java folks, Java has much more market share then any of the mentioned technologies.
