Yes, you should. a) it's very easy to pick up (not an exaggeration). If it's not a good fit for you, you'll probably know within a week or two. b) it's fun, especially if you've been knee-deep in script languages for a while like me and suffered from quirky implementations and buggy code with too many run-time errors c) the community is extremely friendly and helpful (OK, anyone could claim that, but just go look at the google group or the IRC channel and see for yourself) d) people actually seem to get stuff done with it, I'm amazed at the quality of available libraries.
