You can't do iterators, but you can do other things that work just as well.

NO! I never suggested any such thing. I only got into the whole theory and
background of functional languages because somebody asked me to explain it
more thoroughly.
All I am really advocating at this point is that tags and scripts, when
evaluated, return a value. I just want to make it easier to write
functional-style tag libraries, if that's what the author wants. See the
earlier thread for details.
I have absolutely no desire to change Jelly into a purely functional system.
That would pretty much negate it's entire purpose.
