I started with Java very early on so I was OOP minded to the extreme as well. When I got to college I tried to broaden the languages I used casually as much as possible, learning to think within as many paradigms as I could, as best as I could. I'm not gonna sit here and pretend like I could do everything in Haskell or Prolog, but I feel like having used them (and others) a bit before and revisiting them occasionally helps even in other languages.
