Fish of Rage (nprofile…h6f2) fediblock's coolest poster (nprofile…423k) or to put it more charitably to Joel's point: even if a problem would be very easily and elegantly solved with recursion, in Java since you can't generally use a recursive solution, you won't attempt or think about it and won't notice how much easier it makes the problem, so you won't even write recursion just to hand-optimize it into an iterative copy.
He's handing kids simple "get the length of this list" problems and they're struggling instead of noticing the trivial recursive solution.
