I'd argue a FP implemenation with map (something like `[99..1].map(|n| f'{n} bottles of beer ... {n-1} bottles of beer on the wall').join('\n\n')`) is inherently as readable as the for loop, and not really more complex.

There are lots of great parts in FP, and for the last ~10-15 years imperative programming languages have made a lot of effort to add them to their syntax. You just need to leave out the more dogmatic parts that make FP popular in academia.
