I do not agree with this assertion. I've seen closure based solutions and OO versions both scale, and both fail. They are appropriate for different problems, and different designs. But as long as you know what they are (and aren't) good at, you can choose either. Speaking personally, I tend to prefer code that is heavy on closures to code that is heavy on OO. But that's a matter of taste. [...] _______________________________________________ Boston-pm mailing list [email protected] http://mail.pm.org/mailman/listinfo/boston-pm
