Brad,
like i said, i'm not sure intuition exists....
What's quite certain is that *claims* of intuitiveness exist.
But do they only exist as a reason for justifying the use of
one particular language?
approach easier, and some of whom find another. From a teaching
point of view, would it be possible to offer two introductory
streams, one functional and one imperative, and let students
choose and/or transfer early?
How could students tell the difference between having problems
programming and having problems using a particular kind of
language? Perhaps this distinction is not important, they
could simply try another approach and see if it makes any
difference.
