> I find some code easier to express with procedural/mutable loops than recursion, and I believe the vast majority of programmers I think this comes from early and continuous exposure to some forms of programming, rather than inherent to pure functional programming. I personally find it much easier to use recursion and other functional techniques because it composes better. This probable comes from my exposure to Haskell much earlier than most.
