Coming from an imperative language background, it certainly took some time for me to start using and understanding functional constructs. But the nice thing is that once you pass that bump, it's a hell of a freeway to go down.

That's the point. With "here, copy and paste this code" at least you (can) read what you're pasting into your project.

Most of people learning just "install this module" without actually caring about what's inside or any implementation details.

Licencing is a whole other beast worth of another post.
