It seems like the author is wrong about the weak Sapir-Whorf hypothesis not applying to programming languages.

This is anecdotal, but once I learned Clojure, some things about the way I thought about problems changed. I didn't think about things in a functional way before that. The same has happened since I started learning Rust. Now I'm thinking about ownership and lifetimes. And in C I had to manually allocate and free memory.

Perhaps the hypothesis should be amended to refer to programming language paradigms, or something along those lines.
