After all, if you can read a recipe, you can basically read procedural code. The problem is that it's pretty difficult to do anything interesting in procedural languages and doing interesting things is what will motivate a person to get past their early, and inevitable, frustration. You might accept this but argue that functional languages have a high degree of power and should be the starting point. Unfortunately, while functional
