Line 11:
As the author of the functionally composed AppleScript draft, I have no comment on what seems to me a ''slightly'' unusual relabelling of the procedural draft to 'idiomatic'. ('procedural' or 'imperative' vs 'functional' – these are very commonly used terms, and this is a '''very''' widely understood distinction). (I make no comment because it seems sensible for each contributor to label their draft as they see fit, as long as the label seems likely to be intelligible).
 
I '''do''' wonder, however, about the value and epistemological basis of the slightly eccentric editorialising about my draft, which, we Iare informed, to my genuine puzzlement and surprise, but in tones of great authority - "'''goes to great lengths (!) to disguise how it works'''". ??? :-)
 
This comes just a little from left field – is there some animus here about the relative execution speeds of the two drafts ? Little could be less significant in the context ... Functional composition may be irritatingly unfamiliar to you – it's even possible, though quite irrelevant, that I might find your draft a bit cluttered, and that sequences of state mutations might seem a bit complex and accident-prone to me – but is it really plausible or helpful to imagine and protest that other coders are deliberately hiding their tracks ?
