I agree with Nuno on this (but I'm a beginner). I mostly do functional.... but often I find a places where i prefer an object abstraction.
And I find that this is mostly the case of the node api, you will find like a bunch of functions in "fs"... but then things like Stream or the EventEmitter looks more like objects (classes). so, I use both but more functional. 2012/6/19 Nuno Job <nunojobpi...@gmail.com> > Do functional style if you feel like it, OO if you feel like it. > > It's your choice, nodejs lends itself to both. > > A lot of good nodejs developers do OO.
