  1. The problem with the imperative version is it allows arbitrary complexity far too easily. In practice i haven't seen the typical map/filter/reduce type functions end up quite as complex as some of the multiple nested looping structures I've seen where every iteration sets booleans at various scopes to control the flow of the whole thing. For non blocking contexts writing imperative code can quickly get very complex without specific language support. For the functional version, its more an implementation detail.
