I've failed every time. Since 1982 I've been a structured programmer using functional decomposition as a design method. I can do OOP, although I'm not that impressed by it. How can I acquire the proper mindset to do Scheme or other functional languages the right way, so I can finally start functional programming that doesn't have a C accent?
