Recursion, I speculate, is one of the two things that
a programmer new to FP style needs to learn, the other
being combinatorial control of the evaluator's mechanics.
It is like learning how to write assembly programming,
with one difference: the "paper" is turned by 90°
and FP is a little less explicit about instructing the
machine.(*)
(Is it a coincidence that (declarative) logics and the
λ-calculi have lead to variations that have "combinatory"
as part of their names?)

(*) IIRC, using the core of Mozart/Oz, one builds functions
from primitives, each of them being syntactically structured
like an instruction to a three-address machine.
