> Most people are more comfortable with imperative languages

Unscientific poll with possibly a biased sample: more people find functional easier to work with. But telling, the difference is more pronounced among bootcampers and informally educated programmers than formally educated programmers https://twitter.com/DNAutics/status/1459348334007787526.

Not to mention that Elixir is basically "mostly functional but you don't have to faff around with monads or anything to do imperative".
