Cross pollination of ideas from working with different languages is a very powerful thing. Coders often, sadly, regard 'their language' as a walled garden, whereas in fact there is so much crossover in terms of technique, it only makes your knowledge deeper and more solid seeing how solutions are achieved in different ways. At least, that's been my experience as an average/middling dev - there may well be some level of zen where this doesn't apply, but I'm hard pressed to think of one right now.
