I feel like programming in a point-free style is the closest to writing prose that coding gets for me. A composition of named functions in sequence is essentially a functional sentence. The ability to effortlessly re-arrange the product on the page is what gives it the flavor -- written imperatively and in detail, that flavor is either lost, or diluted homeopathically amongst the much more verbose format.
