For me, it was Python that really changed how I code.  The first two
times I tried to pick up Python, I just dismissed it as being another
"weird" language.

The third time I tried, I finally groked functional programming.  All of
a sudden, I could express complex ideas using lists and functions,
combining them with a few simple operations.

Python's actually changed many aspects of my coding style, mostly for
the better.

Java, on the other hand, taught me to hate
identifiersWhichAreFullAndGramaticallyCompleteEnglishSentences ;)
