That is a fascinating article, but isn't its point rather that languages probably do have an influence on how you think?
And no-one is claiming that you can't do closures in C, but I am claiming that C-only programmers don't usually think in those terms, because the language makes them more complicated than they need to be.
- sp4rki 16y agoActually I think they have more an effect on how you express yourself. If closures are the solution to my problem I'll probably think about it in language agnostic way first, and then express it in code in whatever language I prefer or need to write in.
