Falling back on imperative is orthogonal to what to teach first. My original argument was that, when just starting programming, it is better to go with FP, as it is easier to learn PP or OOP additionally.

While, when starting with PP or OOP, it is incredibly hard to then learn FP.

I wasn't responding to your specific point. I was addressing this general idea that the only reason people find imperative programming easier is because they were taught it first
