I'm not sure I'd want to teach anyone XSLT as their first language, I'm not
sure it would be doing them a service, but it would probably be easier than
teaching it as a second language! I don't think there's anything in XSLT
that is more "contra-human" than any other language, but there are plenty of
things that are "contra-programmer", if you happen to be a programmer who
has only used procedural, imperative languages.

For information, XSLT is the first time in my career I've been exposed to
functional programming, except as a theoretical concept.
