I'll be the first to admit... I'm a little conflicted by this.. I've almost exclusively worked on the usual procedural /OO languages professionally (java /c#)..I like to experiment and I've picked up a bunch of languages along the way (perl, python, coffeescript, f#, nim etc).. And its usually because I want to see what's different and spend enough time to do something useful (but not large) with it. Also, it helps you become a better programmer IMO. otoh, if I'm hired for my skills but then have to work on js( don't actually like the js eco system) or haskell (I gave up after trying and I doubt I'd become very good at it anytime soon if I were forced into it) I'd be not happy either (and IMO, with valid cause that doesn't reflect on me or my abilities)
