when i went to university the first course in the cs program was programming in sml level-wise it was that the first assignment involved implementing integer multiplication as a function without using *, or the standard library (and we were plain not told about looping constructs in ml existing until the end of the course). very very easy recursion from where i am sitting now it was a great assignment because half the class thought they were hot poo poo having learned some things about c or pascal by rote, and everyone ended up being intellectually level because no one really knew anything (or, for that matter, had seen ml before), didn't take anyone long, but no one instantly solved it none of the assignments took more than 30 or so loc as i recall, but i learned a lot, not least about being a know-it-all nerd because i hammered at the keyboard a bunch before i attended the class

much as i like f# it takes some doing to view a linear order being required as a positive.
