If you only had exposure to math, and not to procedural programming,
XSLT's
use of the term "variable" would seem entirely natural.
And if someone has a wide exposure to math the procedural use of
"variable" can be really irritating.
Who learns XSLT (or PostScript or Forth or Lisp) as a first programming
language?
Who learned Forth or Lisp as a first programming language? There must
have been somebody sometime.
Hmm, who learned logo first that's what I want to know.
