"Do X then do Y" style programming is natural for some people - mainly those who first learned programming that way. Mathematical expression style is more natural for other people, and recursion is very natural in that context.

The question is, for people who haven't learned programming at all, which way is more natural? (And it may depend on how mathematical they are, and/or on some aspects of personality...)
