That said, the mere thought of having tons of
functions, all stacked together and
intermingled in different ways, makes the blood
retract from my feet and hands to protect the
central parts...

Scales of Set! I remember the "actions",
"events", and "triggers" of certain
unmentionable programming languages and IDEs.
This always made for a total mess, instantly!
It was like the very opposite of MVC built into
the architecture and style of work, as
a virtue!

Having often ridiculed the "side-effect free"
neurosis of Haskell people when it comes to
functions I prefer them the predictable
black box of school-boy calculus...
