I disagree, I don't think Imperative aligns with the human brain. Humans have thought thru problems for millenia before computers existed. For a 1700s mathamatician to solve a problem in grueling, iterative steps that loop and change a state would be seen as a boneheaded caveman method. Pure functions were the norm of elegance in the olden days of famous polymaths. I didn't grow up with access to any computer, but I did a lot of mathematics, so going from that to Imperative thinking was super jarring and not natural at all.

Exactly. I came from a math background and only ever used Wolfram Mathematica for programming, and naturally used functional programming. Later on I tried to learn imperative programming and it boggled my mind. The idea of changing a state over and over seemed so janky to me.
