At some point, I stopped learning... I was happy with my multi-paradigm, general purpose language, its powerful IDE, and knowing every gotcha and corner case of its syntax. I felt unstoppable, my language could do anything! Why would I ever need anything else?

And then, something happened. Something, that would challenge my most fundamental beliefs about what it meant to write software. And that something rekindled the passion for learning I thought I'd lost...

In this talk I will take you through a journey of re-discovery of programming. I'll show you different programming paradigms and what they can teach us, finally, answering the question: is there a perfect programming language?
