I find it refreshing too. I find it much easier for my programming to flow when I'm sparing in my object use.

But, I'm not quite ready to throw out bundling functions with data just yet. Sometimes there's no other use you'd have for a function, and the dot notation and discovery through autocomplete is really convenient.

Not quite sure how to resolve these things yet.

In a language like Clojure you wouldn't have the problem of autocomplete because there isn't an object for the method to be attached to.

I love autocomplete and editors/IDEs for dynamic OO languages have a hard time providing it, because the type isn't know except through certain types of analysis, which can never be 100% known.
