Programming languages shape the way their users think
- joatmon-snoo 10y agoA personal anecdote: I'm a uni student in my last year, and I was working on the first assignment for my networking class today, a small <100 LoC Java app, designed to (1) be a Java refresher and (2) introduce us to raw sockets. Halfway through the assignment, once I'd figured out what the "protocol" for the communication was by messing with netcat, I found myself immediately writing a wrapper for sockets for the code, and couldn't help but wonder what my natural instinctive approach would have been if I had been writing the code in Python (the one language I actually have experience writing production code in).
