I dont know ... way more common problem I see is unwillingness to abstract. Spaghettis are way more frequent than massive abstractions. Now the popular thing is move toward functional-like style, which leads to one stream of flow that is quite difficult to decipher.

By the definition of one stream of flow, this is literally easier to follow lol. One stream of flow as opposed to what? Several streams that branch and intermingle? Spaghetti is several intermingling branching streams which is very hard to follow. Following one stream is easy, you just follow the stream /shrug

No it is not easier to follow practically. Second, definition "stream of flow" is not "easier to follow". It is "one steam of code". It forces you to have all the ifs and for in head all the time and does not explains what those means.

Yes, opposed to named structures you can understand in isolation and then treat as units.
