@fxn @yaroslav Would I be correct to say that Rails's opinion on organizing functionality is to prefer modules to collaborators?

@erniemiller @yaroslav criteria is: usage drives API, modules or classes organize the code base internally

@fxn @yaroslav I'm gonna take that as a "yes", based on observations seeming to lean heavily on the former and not the latter.

@erniemiller @yaroslav if the implementation is a mess that's bad quality, the surface in absolute terms is not very meaningful for us

@fxn @erniemiller @yaroslav You can't honestly be saying that the complexity (and surface) of an active record model isn't causing pain.

@sgrif @erniemiller @yaroslav in Ruby, modules allow you to organize the code, delineate bolcks of functionality, and offer a convenient API

@fxn @erniemiller Modules have the same problems as inheritance in general -- no explicit API, no privacy from collaborators

@sgrif @fxn Modules are inheritance but determining what `super` does is more straightforward in the latter, and it conveys “is-a”.
