Nice #discuss :)

My thought changing experiences were with:

  • declarative languages: first SQL, then more recently DSLs for DevOps tooling - check out Azure RM, AWS cloudformation or Terraform.
  • parallel processing: VHDL & Verilog for hardware, Occam & Modula-2 in software - my first experience of native parallel processing support and learning all about synchronisation and shared storage.
