It's a nice idea, but I would contest the idea that it's even necessary. Maybe it's good for someone with the potential of being a 10x developer, but most people don't have that potential. Some of us don't even want to be a 10x developer.
With some exceptions, most language people were using a decade ago are still around and have paying jobs. There's no reason why everyone should go berserk trying to eat, breathe, and think in code. Life is more than just computers. Personally, I'd rather spend that time tinkering, hanging out with friends and family, working on my side business, making moonshine, traveling, etc. Programming languages suck and I don't want to use them more.

Kind of reminds me of when I came to JavaScript from Ruby and overcomplicated the code by treating it like Ruby.
