My university chose to teach a lisp-like language without for loops as they very first programming course in the computer science program lol. Everyone who “already knew” how to program hated it (including me at the time) because it knocked us from the peak of the Dunning-Kruger curve into the valley of despair like everyone else.

It’s very frustrating to be in a situation where you know how to do something one way, but you can’t do it like that and you have to learn a completely different way to do it. Feeling like a beginner again makes people feel stupid, and most people don’t like that. But it really just means you’re learning a new way to approach problems.
