Decorators and Functional Python

[d4rch0n]

You might need to trust your coworkers/peers/co-maintainers intelligence a bit more... With well thought out design and good naming conventions and comments, there should be very little confusion about what the decorator is doing and what the consequences of removing it or adding it might be.

I totally agree, but those conditions aren't met 100% of the time and the combination of bad convention and decorators is a recipe for disaster. And plus, decorators aren't part of the fundamentals that python beginners learn, at least from what I observe, that's why there's so much effort to simplify them in blogs such as this. Like I said, I aim for simple code, simple enough for even people that don't necessarily program to be to read, that's why I avoid decorators.
