Thanks for the feedback. What you've said is true, and I should have included a clause asking what the answerer's background was. Personally, I started out programming with Lisp, and hence got introduced to the functional style early on. So that was 2 years spent with Lambda's, and a year with laziness, type classes and purity (Haskell) before being introduced to Continuations.
