I also tried FP, and I did not like it either.

I could write some cool looking code, which does
something amazing in few lines, but when I come
back few days later and look at it, I find myself
struggling to understand it.

FP seems to be good for short programs. But try to
build a large software system with it, and things
start falling apart quickly.
