It can't be worse than playing video games or watching tv shows.
Seriously, this is never lost. The more languages/paradigms we know, the easier it gets to learn new languages. I think it's a good investment.

- motohagiography 5y agoThe counter argument could be that this defines free time as measured by its opportunity cost against something else, and not as just what you enjoy. I tell people all the time that what I'm doing isn't procrastination, it's sacrifice.
