Is there any place for OOP in redux?

Question

I\'ve been using object-oriented programming practices for 25 years and trying to move toward functional programming for the last 5 years, but my mind always goes towards OOP wh

This question is a bit opinion-based but let's concentrate on the core points.

There is no contradiction between functional programming and OOP. You just need to use the same programming patterns. There is no problem to use classes (with inheritance) in functional programming, if you keep them immutable.

To prove my point, the popular library Immutable.js that is used by many people to keep state in redux is composed from classes. And those classes have inheritance (e.g. OrderedSet extends Set).

Also note that most React components are classes and they use inheritance, too (... extends React.Component).
