I '''do''' wonder, however, about the value and epistemological basis of the slightly eccentric editorialising about my draft, which, we are 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 than speed in the context (I'm happy to apologise for having written a faster draft) ... 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 ?
 
Bear in mind that functional composition may be irritatingly unfamiliar to you, but it's very standard undergraduate stuff these days, less unfamiliar to many others than to you ...
