As for what is harder and what is not, it's not really so much a matter of easier and harder. By replacing all of the normal techniques with equivalent ones, it's more just programming in a different style that nets more benefits. I wouldn't say it's fundamentally easier, because the hardest part of any problem is reasoning about the problem itself, but I do think that you get a lot of benefits for writing in this way that is not really harder than the traditional methods, either. There's a sort of 1 for 1 replacement of traditional programming techniques with new techniques. The new techniques solve similar problems, but are more parallel, and more concise.
