Why you should learn new programming languages

Are you comfortable with the language you're using? If so, why bother learning new programming languages at all?

This session will discuss the many benefits of learning new programming languages, including how it will make you a better programmer.

To help you choose what language to learn, we'll provide guidance.
Specifically, we'll recommend learning languages that use an unfamiliar paradigm.
We'll explore three such languages:
- R (Array Programming)
- 8th (Stack Programming)
- Prolog (Logic Programming)

We'll discuss the unique benefits (and trade-offs) of each language and paradigm, demonstrated through live coding examples.
Some of the code shown will be quite different from mainstream languages, so prepare to be surprised!
