Ruby On Rails – Services vs Object Classes (infinitemonkeys.influitive.com)

When I look at the "good" enterprise codebases, I see more and more functional-style code written in non-functional languages. Dumb entities, service layers which would be single functions if the language allowed it, and persistence layers which are essentially stateless apart from their connections.

So, I'm all for a switch to services instead of fat models, which have always made me cringe.
