Absolutely. I really want to love FP style programming, but I just can't get it to gel in my head. I'm totally on board with the concepts of side effect free programming, minimising state, passing around functions as parameters, etc... But I struggle with reading it, and I struggle with writing it, and I struggle to build a conceptual framework of how FP style components fit together. I've been banging my head against the FP wall for _years_ now, and I still can't seem get a level of fluency that where I'm comfortable using it regularly. That doesn't mean FP sucks, it just means my brain isn't wired that way.
