I’ll second this. You don’t even have to go all in and spend a year programming it. Just dipping your toe into SICP/Lisp every once in a while is enough to shock you into realizing that there’s a much broader scope of possibilities in programming that has not been effectively exposed to you or the masses.

SICP really gives you a “full-stack” appreciation for software (from applications down to compilers and interpreters). It’s horizon-expanding.
