Increased Capacity to express
programming concepts
The tools we use have a profound (and devious!) influence on our thinking habits, and, therefore, on our thinking abilities. Edsger Dijkstra
- Depth at which we can think is influenced by the expressive power of the language.
- What kind of algorithms can you develop.
- Can increase the range of software development thought process by learning new languages.
- Those constructs can be simulated
