When I first learned to program, I though imperative programming was "closer to the machine" than functional programming because you update variables just like you do registers in assembly.
Later I learned that modern optimizing compilers completely throw away all of your source-level variable mutation by translating to a functional intermediate language (SSA) and then decide for themselves how to store your variables.
