When procedural programming was seen as problematic then came object oriented programming (OOP) was tried as solution? But that is also seen by many as failure when programmers trying to write proper OOP code end up just producing poo. And there is also functional programming with it’s promises and failures. And there has been also trials with
declarative programming, Reactive Programming, etc.. and new rising “stars” in AI, cloud and quantum fields.

https://blog.codinghorror.com/your-code-oop-or-poo/

I’m not a fan of object orientation for the sake of object orientation. Often the proper OO way of doing things ends up being a productivity tax. Sure, objects are the backbone of any modern programming language, but sometimes I can’t help feeling that slavish adherence to objects is making my life a lot more difficult.

The kicker is that what’s often a tremendous puzzle in Erlang (or Haskell) turns into straightforward code in Python or Perl or even C.

It is said in every OOP book (also in Lafore’s book) that procedural paradigm is prone to errors e.g. the global data as easily vulnerable by the functions. It is said that programmer can make honest errors in procedural languages e.g. by making a function that accidentally corrupts the data.
