To me this also seem to be wasteful, even if not for the computer, but it wastes my amount of working state I can keep in my head, which is very limited.

- restalis 1y agoI was thinking about this too. When you read a program, there is this information payload, which is the metaphorical ball you have to keep your eyes on, and more or less forget about the rest as soon as it isn't relevant any more. In the functional paradigm it's like seeing the juggle of a bunch of such balls instead (plus the expectation to admire it), but that's just wasteful on reader's attention.
