Morphing SOLID principles

Let's consider how the functional programming paradigm morphs the five basic principles of the object-oriented design known under this bold acronym of SOLID.

"There should never be more than one reason for a class to change"

In other words, if a class implementation is to be changed in response to two or more independent modifications to a functionality, this is an evidence of the Single Responsibility Principle (SRP) violation in its design. Following this principle in the OOP world entails designs consisting of many lean classes in lieu of fewer but bulkier classes.
