Fair point. =)

Actually, I am a programmer: started with BASIC (and a little assembler
language) in the early 1980s, then FORTRAN (including WATFIV) and APL in the
late 1980s, then Java in the late 1990s, and a bunch of lesser languages
(scripting, etc.) along the way.

I agree that it's very difficult for some procedural programmers to learn. I
found the same thing when I taught XSL(T), which I find extremely intuitive,
but many of my students (and programmer friends) find it impossible to get
their mind around.

I hope the following helps, or at least points you in the right direction.
