Indeed it is a matter of preference and as for defining functions within tables it is the only way to do it, it'll error if you try it the other way

Invalid

local t = {
  function x()
  end
}

Valid

local t = {
  x = function()
  end
}

Yeah, that's what I meant ; I like defining my functions within the table, but some people define their functions outside of the tables like this:

local t = {}
t.something = function()
  print("hi")
end

So it really depends on what way you like doing things.
