Well, it may sound a bit heterodox, but IMHO functional programming is 
just a subset of imperative (= procedural) programming.

- Functional programming = expressions
- Imperative programming = expressions + variables + procedural actions

So why avoid the power of some functional programming expressions in the 
imperative programming world?

Just my 2c.
