Maybe I've been spoiled by working with embedded C++ on Arduinos, where we have 3 sections -- Initialization, Setup function, and Loop function. We set variables and include libraries in the Initialization section at top. We run first-time code and open serial & other connections in Setup. Most code goes into the Loop section, which is the function that does the heavy lifting. Extra functions (i.e. the math to convert inches to mm) can be written below, and called in either Setup or Loop.
This is why programming language history is so important. Every programming language has a large number of opinions/assumptions. Code structure is one of them. The Arduino language, based on C/C++, has assumed a simple code structure that helps people learning embedded programming, because the Arduino platform was designed to help people learn.
