I think you mean imperative. Yes, there is a community that believes that writing bug-free programs in functional style is easier than writing them in imperative style. Writing buggy programs might be easier in imperative style, but in some application areas, that's not good enough. Why don't you read the Hughes paper I cited instead of taking cheap shots at it without reading it, if you want to understand the issues better. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
