I onced worked in a shop (Win32 desktop / accouting applications mainly) 
where I was the only guy that could actually understand recursion. FWIW, 
I also was the only guy around that understood "hairy" (lol) concepts 
like callback functions, FSM, polymorphism, hashtables, linked lists, 
ADTs, algorithm complexity etc...

Needless to say, I didn't last long !-)
