Any kind of tree or graph traversal in a moderately functional language? If you’re a frontend dev trying to glue together something that works I can see it, but I would wager that you’ve come across some kind of tree or graph problem that would be best formulated in terms of a recursive algorithm in 20 years of professional work. Maybe I just have a skewed perspective as a grad student working on filesystem stuff, but I can’t imagine going for years without having to solve some kind of graph problem. |

(Not the GP) I mostly do "backend" work, my limited experience with the frontend (mostly javascript) is that you actually need to deal with (explicit) tree structures more in the frontend. The DOM tree is one, for example. Other UI elements can be modeled quite nicely with a tree structure too.
