30 May 2007 - ''The shape of your mind''
Eric Merrit wrote an interesting post on his blog
"The shape of your mind" on how knowing different programming languages shapes your mind and the way you think to problems.
This reminded me of the
Sapir-Whorf hypotesis taken from linguistic.
This hypotesis has many formulations, some weak and some strong. The strong formulation, stating that language determines thought, is thought to be incorrect in linguistic.
I think a lot of programmers would instead agree with the strong formulation.
And now I know I have to add Forth to the list of languages to learn :-).
