Agreed

I think that that can mostly be avoided, by sometime creating local scopes {..} to avoid too much state inside a function, combined with whitespace and some section "header" comments (instead of what would have been sub function names).
Can be quite readable I think. And nice to not have to jump back and forth between myriads of files and functions
