Comment on The subjective experience of coding in different programming languages (2023)parent

It helps in my case. Bash is all about text so you just see text being output and manipulated. Something like lisp is about lists and eval, so you mostly see those and equivalent expressions. With something like React, there’s this tree representation of state that is always on your mind.

It’s a more abstract representation than code. Not as fixed, but helps greatly with designing the next steps.
