Kevlin Henney completely changed my world view on programming, when I watched his presentation Concurrent Affairs: Procedural Programming Unlocked - NDC London 2022, earlier this year.[1] "when you introduce concurrency into a non-concurrent environment what you do is you change the laws of physics of your program, you change the nature of time" This is a profound insight. It totally changed how I think about the nature of multithreaded and multiprocessor based programming. Also from Kevlin - Refactoring to immutability[2], which showed me exactly why you would want immutable "variables". I never got the point of Rust before that. The "Borrow Checker" principle still seems nuts to me, nut at least I know there's logic behind it.
