    It also forces you to not have giant functions.

    No, being unable to read giant functions is what forces me not to have giant functions.

      My friend, let me tell you a story during my studies when I had to help someone find a bug in their 1383-line long main() in C… on the other hand I think Ill spare you from the gruesome details, but it took me 30 hours.
