Linus, Dijkstra, Stroustrup, to name a few.
Time has shown OOP is not good.

I wouldn't take Linus' hyperbole at face value, given that he is a guy who has consistently refused to use anything but C or assembly.
Dijkstra, on the other hand, argued that Haskell should be taught in college instead of Java. Yeah, let's go with that.

So, the creator of C++ argues that OOP is "not good"?
OOP is ubiquitous, and a fine tool. Plainly saying that it is "not good" is like saying nothing.
Then it’s great that Java is a general purpose programming language with plenty of ways to do FP as well.
Also, being good at some subset of CS doesn’t mean they are good at language design.
