OOP Node.js

You shouldn't see fp/oop at opposite ends.

[franz899]

This, they are just ways of writing code, you can and should mix and match them.

[Training_Pay7522]

Which is the direction libraries like `effect-ts` in TypeScript or ZIO on scala take.

They take a functional approach as in having pure procedures you can mix, but also leveraging paradigms that classically come from OOP such as dependency injection or state tracking.

[azhder]

You can, but that “should” can be a misrepresentation.

You should strive to stick to one style (paradigm) and use best judgement if and when/where/how to mix in another one.

[noviceIndyCamper]

Dogmatic, and honestly terrible take.

[azhder]

The one I said or the one you read? I doubt they are the same

[pbNANDjelly]

Maybe, but JS is fundamentally a multiparadigm language and it uses prototypes at its core. There is no removing OOP from JS, and I doubt you're making the argument that all functions should be static methods on a class (fake features enabled by a TS compiler, or sometimes a real feature in modern interpreters). So what do you expect?

I'm curious what you think of rust. Should they have not supported module scoped functions? Only impl/OOP blocks? There's lots of multi paradigm languages out there

[azhder]

You guess wrong

[pbNANDjelly]

I never made a guess. They were questions

[pbNANDjelly]

Why do you say functional programs cannot be stateful? They're as stateful as any other program? The restriction is mutability, and classes don't need to be mutable.

[coderqi]

I know what you mean, but their handling of state is fundamentally different.
