Re:It Is What It Is (And Nothing Else) – Why Recursion Still Matters

Anecdote: After 12 hours of programming, I still had to implement some easy string search. I could not think straight at that stage and several imperative solutions failed. Then I thought "dammit, let's use a functional approach with recursion". It was faster to write, tail recursive, and correct the first time.
