Prototypes vs Composition
Developers should learn prototypes to master JavaScript and other prototype-based languages, as it's essential for understanding inheritance, object creation, and debugging meets developers should learn composition to build more maintainable and testable code, as it reduces tight coupling and allows components to be reused independently across different contexts. Here's our take.
Prototypes

Prototypes
Nice PickDevelopers should learn prototypes to master JavaScript and other prototype-based languages, as it's essential for understanding inheritance, object creation, and debugging
Pros
- +It's crucial for building scalable applications, implementing inheritance patterns, and working with frameworks like React or Node
- +Related to: javascript, object-oriented-programming
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Composition
Developers should learn composition to build more maintainable and testable code, as it reduces tight coupling and allows components to be reused independently across different contexts
Pros
- +It is particularly useful in scenarios like building UI components in frameworks like React, designing microservices architectures, or implementing the Strategy and Decorator design patterns, where behavior can be dynamically composed at runtime
- +Related to: object-oriented-programming, design-patterns
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Prototypes if: You want it's crucial for building scalable applications, implementing inheritance patterns, and working with frameworks like react or node and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Composition if: You prioritize it is particularly useful in scenarios like building ui components in frameworks like react, designing microservices architectures, or implementing the strategy and decorator design patterns, where behavior can be dynamically composed at runtime over what Prototypes offers.
