Whats in a Language?

Sapir Whorf hypothesis theorizes that thoughts and behavior are determined (or at least partially determined) by the language. To this day it has continued to baffle researchers world over.....really interesting

This hypothesis is being used to convey the fact that learning a new programming language might alter your approach to common programming tasks. Ever since i have caught the RubyOnRails bug, my fascination with this hypothesis continues to grow.
