Incomplete assessment.

Functional programming much better supports equational reasoning.

Imperative programming much better supports operational reasoning.

Or you could contrast "data flow" vs "control flow".

I'd have thought we won't need operational reasoning in 2017 but currently I conclude it may always be a part of computer programming..
