I've found usually if you cleanly explain what you're doing and go through some examples people are willing to learn. Not sure if I've been lucky in that regard, but I've never had the problem this guy clearly has before, with integrating functional ideas into code. I've also found that quite often I actually am at fault because it is reasonable to want to break up dense code into smaller understandable blocks, and while you _can_ write an entire function (or application) as one statement in an FP style, your job isn't to show how cool you are, it's to write code that your peers can maintain. _(Like that last paragraph. It probably should have been more than once sentence. We live and learn.)_
