Well, that's an ignorant reduction of functional programming but suit yourself.

[nyanpasu64]

It's exactly the experiences I've had trying to read functional-style Rust code that uses higher-order function methods as a replacement for control flow primitives.

Yes, it’s far too readable to be actual functional programming.

[tr1ll10nb1ll]

That's a slap in the face to Erlang/Elixir or maybe you weren't able to comprehend it?

[sidlls]

Readability and the ability to comprehend code with poor readability aren’t really related.

I was having a bit of fun at the expense of FP zealots.

I only write code in an FP language and it never looks like that. Usually I’m passing function results into another function or into a match to break out success and failure states. It doesn’t have to be Haskell wizardry, or even clever.
