I remember when I first encountered recursion back in the early 80s. Almost all of my programming at the time was in BASIC or assembler nad I couldn't fathom how recursion would be useful to me. In reality, you never *need* recursion, but sometimes it can be helpful and is often the simplest way of writing things out. If we are going to reach out to other programming communities, we need to understand that even if we disagree with their way of doing things, it doesn't hurt to support those ways so long as it doesn't interfere with other ways of doing things.
