Strange that you blame this on OOP. I see event sourcing being used particularly often in FP environments. Because of course the model of streaming immutable data fits very well into the FP paradigm.

I wrote the blog post you cited (thanks!) but I disagree with both statements: that is not what is meant in the article.

1. I don't think Event Sourcing sucks - I think we are lacking accessible technology for supporting it. 2. For most difficulties encountered in Event Sourcing, I would rather blame distribution taken to the extreme.
