My impulse to learn new languages is primarily driven by my desire to be able to read code that other people are writing, not necessarily to use it myself. For example, I'm not a huge fan of C++ or x86 assembly, and I doubt I will ever write anything significant in either, but I learned C++ so I could read what other people were doing with it, and I learned x86 assembly so I could understand reverse engineering tools better.
