This just reinforces my bias that OOP is what is really harmful. Really, what good reason is there to have data and behavior bound to the same object? I’ve never seen a good argument for that. It’s just taken as a given. It seems nice and convenient, but that convenience seems to always lead to unexpected complexity like this.
A while ago I was looking for a color manipulation library, and I saw her Color.js, and loved all the features. Then I saw the bullet point, “Readable, object-oriented API”. Nope. I’m not touching that. I chose culori instead. It’s just a collection of functions that transform standardized color data objects. It’s like lodash for colors. It’s been great to work with.
