I thought I knew functional programming from knowing Python, but looking back I didn't really "grok" it until I moved to Elixir. Now I like it and prefer it. I don't run into any of the types of bugs I used to create in Python, mostly from being lazy and fiddling with data inside of a loop. I miss do miss early returns though.
