I think this most effectively demonstrates why I like a lot of OOP: it can be verbose. This is example function is relatively illegible:

  alignCenter :: [String] -> [String]
  alignCenter xs = map (\x -> replicate (div (n - length x) 2) ' ' ++ x) xs
      where n = maximum (map length xs)

One of the most verbose languages I've used, Objective C, has made this a best practice. Despite the brackets (which scare people off), it can be some of the easiest to read code.
