I have a physics background, and I've met a lot of programmers who also have physics backgrouds. I'm not sure this is the case anymore, but functional programming is usually the starting point for many physicists because of how entrenched certain proprietary software is in the field (I will not be naming names...), which uses a functional approach....it's been kind of difficult relating to other developers who work with more traditional imperative/OOP technologies!
