Yes! I most emphatically agree with this. I do a lot of OO programming in Java or C++ but I think its a horrible idiom for JS. Although I also think prototypical inheritance in Javascript is also pretty ugly :o) For me, JS seems to work best when treated like a poor man's functional language using libraries like underscore.

I agree.
Others have replied (rightly) that under the hood, JavaScript has a lot of objects. Functions are objects. So in that sense I am wrong: JavaScript is an OO language.
However the experience of programming well in JavaScript feels more like using a functional language than using a OO language. Good JS has a lot more to do with thing such as passing functions to functions or understanding how " fn().then(fn()) " works, than it relies on class hierarchies, protypical or classical.
