I prefer this post by the author: https://dpc.pw/growing-object-oriented-software-vs-what-i-would-do
There he writes about the OOP book he actually liked.
(edit) The author adds how he would build the system presented in the book in a functional core imperative shell style.
Reminds me of my (and others) favourite OOP language Erlang/Elixir.

I've recently switched, as it ticks all boxes for me: simple, markdown, custom domain, ssl, reasonably priced. https://dpc.pw/

Totally, some practical use of that here as well:

I'm saddened to see you getting downvoted too (and I've tried to compensate for that). You're right that more ecosystems need something like Crev:

There's some more background and vision for this software in this blog post talking specifically about the Rust ecosystem: https://dpc.pw/cargo-crev-and-rust-2019-fearless-code-reuse
It also has some nicer narrative examples.
