I started programming at a young age, and got introduced to enumeration, product of and functions in math, absolute value, and so forth, but they were explained in any clear and succinct way that made sense. And then I had that "Aha!" moment of "oh, those are just these computing concepts." But when I later talked to the math teacher, "no, no, those are wrong, you don't understand" he would say. We were most definitely talking about the same concepts, just with different language, and I, at that young age, didn't not understand his language, and he, not having any computing of software experience, didn't understand my language.
