Are you explaining the difference between code you have to write and debug and code that someone else has already written and debugged?


What I'm saying is that passing functions (or functional programming) allows you to reuse a lot more code than typical imperative programs with a lot less effort. I personally find the functional style to be much more readable and don't understand why everyone has such a problem with the maintainability of code written in a functional style even if it's a mostly imperative language.
