> It's natural to break large systems into component parts recursively, and to let components have their own state

The biggest lie OOP ever told was that breaking things into smaller components is specific to OOP



And now we're slinging obnoxious insulting mud. Lovely. Thank you for your contribution. I'm going to be that guy. Citation please, even one statement anywhere by an author if an OOP language or of a book on OOP where they say it's the only way to do that.


They don't have to say it, it's implied by omission. When OOP proponents keep repeating that it breaks a program into smaller, more manageable parts, it's easy for beginning programmers to assume that this is a defining feature of OOP and that it's somehow specific to it.
