If you don't need threads in development OR production, you might as well do SELECT * from users and do the join in your imperative code.

If you need threads in production I think you will end up getting rid of your for loops anyway (or possibly, if you really want to, end up in a mutex/semaphore quagmire).

I must say, though, that there are other benefits with a declarative approach than just avoiding threading issues. But I guess it takes some getting used to.

I would say that the same "I cant step through my code" argument also goes for functional style code.

Except that it most likely will be orders of magnitude slower. Most databases are very good at what they are doing.

Yes. Kind of my point to. But the OP missed the possibility to step through the code.
