But when it comes to tests, it's very convenient to just be able to fake
any object by slapping some dummy functions in between curly braces. For
example if I want a fake "IWidthHaver" instance, I just have to write x = {
width: 10 }, and I'm done. Plus I can monkey patch things in tests, replacing
whatever method I want with a wrapper that does some custom monitoring before or
after calling the real method. Writing tests for C++ is a pain in the butt in
comparison.
It's an interesting observation. It is why the functions in Warp are nearly all
templates - so I can slap together dummy objects to unittest those functions.
