I've been thinking a lot about how programming languages and paradigms affect our thinking. For instance, if you give a class a programming puzzle to solve, there will likely not be one bit-for-bit identical program amongst the class submissions. Each person will solve the problem a bit differently and indicative of the way that person thinks. How that particular programmers solves a logic puzzle, let's say.
How about the inverse though?!
## How does a programming language or paradigm influence your thought paradigm?
In object oriented programming, a newer paradigm:
1. Everything is an object
2. You loop through everything
So might we say object oriented programming teaches us to think in loops and everyone/thing is an object in some small way?
