> Quiz: what is the opposite of patronising? Humble, respectful, modest? I respect that different people will find different things hard or easy, so that a generalization is never truly possible (except, uh, this sentence?). On the other hand, speaking with absolutely no generalizations whatsoever is simply not possible, because so many caveats and exceptions would make communication impossible. I do stand by my initial assertion that, in general, if you have a mind capable of learning a new programming language, you can learn lambda calculus, and it won't be particularly hard.
