Abstract
When novice programming students already know one programming
language and have to learn another, what issues do they run into? We
specifically focus on one or both languages being functional, varying
along two axes: syntax and semantics. We report on problems,
especially persistent ones. This work can be of immediate value to
educators and also sets up avenues for future research.
