Could you elaborate a bit? I'm super curious but I have little experience with non-OOP languages.

You could go and learn Clojure, or Haskell if you're particularly masochistic, but even C will do the trick. Be warned that it will be frustrating at first, it definitely takes some brain rewiring.

Functional languages describe the data instead of what you do to the data. This is game changing in perception.

Go read Learn Yourself a Haskell.
