I oscillate between using more functional paradigms and more object-oriented ones. is that normal?
I use a linter BTW(TypeScript) if that is a useful info.
I think using both is normal. Closures and objects are duals of each other. Do whatever is understandable and maintainable, neither paradigm is magic.
Is the duality statement meant to be true in a technical sense?
Yeah! For example, if the language allows closures to capture state, they can act like properties on an instance.
I don't see the duality
A closure is a function with captured state. An object is state with methods.
