Function Composition vs Object Oriented Programming

Developers should learn function composition to write more declarative, readable, and maintainable code by chaining operations without intermediate variables meets developers should learn oop when building complex, scalable applications that require maintainable and reusable code, such as enterprise software, game development, or gui applications. Here's our take.

Function Composition

Nice Pick

Developers should learn function composition to write more declarative, readable, and maintainable code by chaining operations without intermediate variables

Pros

• It is particularly useful in data processing pipelines, functional programming patterns, and when working with libraries like Lodash or Ramda
• Related to: functional-programming, higher-order-functions

Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

Object Oriented Programming

Developers should learn OOP when building complex, scalable applications that require maintainable and reusable code, such as enterprise software, game development, or GUI applications

Pros

• It is particularly useful in team environments where code needs to be modular and easy to understand, as it promotes clear separation of concerns and reduces code duplication through inheritance and polymorphism
• Related to: classes-and-objects, inheritance

Cons

• Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case

The Verdict

Use Function Composition if: You want it is particularly useful in data processing pipelines, functional programming patterns, and when working with libraries like lodash or ramda and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.

Use Object Oriented Programming if: You prioritize it is particularly useful in team environments where code needs to be modular and easy to understand, as it promotes clear separation of concerns and reduces code duplication through inheritance and polymorphism over what Function Composition offers.

The Bottom Line

Function Composition wins

Developers should learn function composition to write more declarative, readable, and maintainable code by chaining operations without intermediate variables
