The thing about OOP is that you can always trace down the methods as they’re called, or look at the parent class. JS can come from any place, reminding me of PLEASE COME FROM in INTERCAL. It’s not that, the fundamental issue is that the DOM is a big global that everything has access to. But you can’t look at a piece of HTML and know for sure it doesn’t have an event bound to it without reading every scrap of JS (or just running the code). In OOP at least you (should) have some guarantees of encapsulation. But since I don’t see an obvious way to make HTML more OO, I can see the appeal of a declarative style.
