That is my complaint against the next fashionable language. Once you have some level of proficiency in around 10 languages, adding more to the list is a chore.

That is my complaint against the next fashionable language. Once you have some level of proficiency in around 10 languages, adding more to the list is a chore. It lacks the enjoyment that came from the first few. At least, that is my experience. That is why I am resistant to learning new languages unless software I want to modify is already written in it. Then, I am forced to learn and time spent on it is time that actually needed to be spent, unlike my brief time spent teaching myself FORTRAN in college, which was largely a waste of time.
