To think about these concepts in another programming paradigm would take more effort.

Likely true, but not germane to the "order" question.
Switching from one programming paradigm to another requires a period of "unlearning" things. Accomplishing a routine task in the new paradigm could very well make the old way you are use to doing it invalid or not optimal and it will take some effort to break the habit.
