It’s only tough to change your way of thinking. Most people making the switch find it tough because they are trying to find imperative techniques to do something in a functional way and struggling because they can’t find an if else statement or a for loop. But if you were never taught to think in terms of conditional branching or looping indexes you’ll save a lot of time.
Exactly. I've long held the sentiment, that pure functional programming is easier than imperative programming. The only hard part, is switching from an imperative mindset.
