NeXTSTEP 3.3 changed my whole way of thinking. It was an amazing development environment with a separate interface builder that allowed me to spend a lot of time just thinking about the best way to do things. Objective-C is still one of my favorite languages. It was also my first BSD experience and lead me to FreeBSD and then OpenBSD. The difference between Objective-C / NeXTSTEP or Cocoa and C++ / WIN32 was amazing.
Forth also made me go "wow". I really understood that way of thinking. I also think Forth is amazing for its ability to keep you from getting discouraged by allowing a problem to be broken down into new words. Postscript was my Forth "wow" combined with art.
