I think using both is normal. Closures and objects are duals of each other. Do whatever is understandable and maintainable, neither paradigm is magic.

that's a nice way to look at it. thanks!

Is the duality statement meant to be true in a technical sense?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Yeah! For example, if the language allows closures to capture state, they can act like properties on an instance.

I don't see the duality

A closure is a function with captured state. An object is state with methods.
