Exactly. It's like design patterns, algorithms, and data structures. There are lots of techniques useful in programming. The trick is having the experience and judgment to know when to use the right one.
Disagree 100%. But of course as everything else in our industry this is super subjective. I'd much rather a line of combinators which read like English than a collection of function calls with wacky parameter calls. YMMV on this though and I understand that.
I also want tiny functions and those functions to be moved far away. I want the "english" names as close to the Real Work as possible. If I really care what the activity is I can use the IDE to drill in. But again, I understand YMMV on this one.
