I find functional programming is where things get bad. It does give some pretty elegant ways to do things, but it can become a nightmare when debugging. Sometimes I need to dig into Django code to work out what's going on. It's all fine while the code is imperative, but as soon as you hit a functional part, then following what's going on gets difficult.

> It's all fine while the code is imperative

ah sorry, i may have had a brain fart here. I use functions imperatively like you say and that's the concept i wanted to get across. failed to do so because I just mentioned don't over-do it on the math.

my bad.

should probably have been an extra one between 6 + 7 for do things imperatively
