I know the limits of imperative programming, and despite the fact that lens are purely functional by themself, I'm scared about limits in readability of code. I'm afraid of writing "write-only" code.
Without any example or further details about the exact nature of this fear, I think it's really difficult for anyone to do this question justice. As a start, try divvying up the issue into syntax and semantics. Semantically, lenses remain purely functional, as you say. Syntax-wise, it appears problematic. One path forward is to flesh out what you mean by the latter. -- Kim-Ee
