This whole thread is wrong. Nobody said you had to split the functions off into a bazillion files that's just stupid. Youre taking the worst part of enterprisey OO culture and ruining the best part of functional.

And no, you do not need to remove code to reduce complexity you're mistaking correlation for causation.

Boilerplate may occur in the short term during a refactor to pure functions but that can eventually be refactored out once things are unshackled enough to be refactored.
