I would say it is more the concepts one uses than the programming language that has an effect on the programmer.

After learning one OOP language it is not that hard to pick up another OOP language

BUT

Functional programming concepts have such a wide array (pun intended) of expression that it was hard for university graduates to use another university's functional programming language; which was why Haskell came to be. :)

Hi all,

I recently got myself thinking about programming languages and their
effects on programmers. I already knew that concept of "linguistic
relativity" ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linguistic_relativity )
and I was thinking that this may be relevant with programming too,
although I don't have any concrete evidence. I was wondering if anyone
else also find that idea of programming language's effect of the
programmer interesting. Do we have any research on that kinds of
things?

Thanks,
