Yes, there is: it makes reading the code less straightforward, at least
IMO. I don't know about you, but I prefer to have the most high-level
material first, and the more specific parts after that, in any kind of
text, not just code. Thus, code in which main() comes first, followed by
the lower level functions, is more readily understandable by me than the
other way around.
