"What you once feared, now makes you free" (Scooter, "Stuck on Replay" 2010) That said, the mere thought of having tons of functions, all stacked together and intermingled in different ways, makes the blood retract from my feet and hands to protect the central parts... Scales of Set! I remember the "actions", "events", and "triggers" of certain unmentionable programming languages and IDEs. This always made for a total mess, instantly! It was like the very opposite of MVC built into the architecture and style of work, as a virtue! Having often ridiculed the "side-effect free" neurosis of Haskell people when it comes to functions I prefer them the predictable black box of school-boy calculus... -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
