It may seem a bit naive. But the ability to write correct functions is what made my code easier to write. And I learnt that from the book How to Design Programs.

Thinking in functions have made my life easier in programming, at least.

HtDP was my first step towards functional programming. I don't use it extensively. But now I am careful about writing mutation wherever possible.
