The concepts still roughly translate and help, though. You have projections/mappings in FP. Or if you want to go deeper, recursion. Understanding loops before those will definitely make them easier since they are equivalent. The argument that learning a second language is as difficult as learning the first doesn’t really hold water in practice as well, lots of people have done so.
