Nice reply, thanks. I fully understand the benefits and we agree then, except possibly for the issue of the cost.

I haven't checked the value of eg. for{} in scala vs a mutable/procedural loop, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was an order of magnitude or two different. Figures are needed, and I don't have them (nor the time to benchmark them now, simple though it is).
