I guess my point was that if you are trying to achieve results in a language paradigm that isn't the one the language was designed for, the learning curve is _really_ steep, and to use the declarative features of any language still requires you to understand the paradigms' differences. When I was at uni it wasn't until the final year that Programming Paradigms was a course, but even a rough introduction to them in any of the languages I studied earlier would have helped. Something like, "This language is used like this. It is not used like this, for example."

I'm not even sure, I totally understood the difference now, 10 years after I studied CS.
