> Julia was the first one where I started developing code.

This is fantastic! I think that Julia really has unseen potential for the scientific community, and even more unseen potential beyond that (most of Julia conf is scientific).

FP also comprises of some really great habits to pick up early on, I'm still trying to unlearn dumb OOP idioms (which is why I'm targeting Julia as my next language).

I feel like you are a kindred spirit! Although Julia is far for my first language, Julia is the first language I ever did a coding interview in (at Apple; it was the language I was doing the most work on and I took their "use whatever language you're comfortable with" to heart. It went poorly).
