A year with Go - Hackdot

Seems like Go and other imperative languages are easier to start a project off with, but functional languages really shine when the code becomes really large and complex.

I can agree with that, but once you are experienced with functional languages I think "easier to start off with" becomes a very low value. I'm assuming by start off with you solely mean "starting a new project" and not "starting to use language from scratch".

At least that seems to be what has happened in my case.

I find that the confidence that refactoring will be easy helps me tremendously with velocity when starting a project.
