As someone who works extensively in Java, I agree, side-effects are tough and should be avoided in OOP. A lot of teams are moving toward more of an immutable object pattern as a standard, but its tough to enforce and adds a lot to the verbosity of the language.

Rust is a language I am currently in the process of learning and it seems great! 👍
