# Programming Languages

[Learn more programming languages, even if you won't use them](https://thorstenball.com/blog/2019/04/09/learn-more-programming-languages/?utm_source=hackernewsletter\&utm_medium=email\&utm_term=fav) #article - "Languages [shape the way we think](https://www.ted.com/talks/lera_boroditsky_how_language_shapes_the_way_we_think)\*, each in their own peculiar way. That’s true for programming languages as well. Each language contains a different mental model, a different perspective for thinking about computation and how to write programs."
