The article's intention was to promote the idea that plain-old functions should have their place as an equal contemporary to classes. I'm mostly a fan of PHP's object model, it's more complex than it needs to be in some ways, but it works. I could write a similar article on JavaScript talking about how it needs to indoctrinate a class hierarchy paradigm. My understanding is there are talks of this happening in ECMA.next. But CoffeeScript's model is currently good enough for me.
