I find functional code much shorter and cleaner, but also when you want to change something along a new axis you need to do a much bigger rewrite than with imperative/procedural/object-oriented code. OO code: "here's a detailed and long-winded description of what happens that's hard to understand. Ignore 95% of it and change that 1 little detail and hope for the best" Functional code: "here's a concise and easy to understand description of what happens, understand it fully, throw it away, and create a new, just as clear and concise description of what should happen from now on"
