I dislike this reasoning with passion. I tend to think the pleasure of learning a new programming language is rarely productive, except for newbies. I also think that our world would be a better place with fewer languages, we really have a lot of useless redundancy. What we need, most of the time, is a good library tailored to solve a specific problem (string manipulation or complex maths could even be done in BASIC or asm with a powerful dedicated library) Creating a new language is like forking a code base.
