I sympathize with the guy. There are so many need-to-know languages and frameworks just to keep up with making a living that I have a hard time justifying learning a 30-year-old language that has had the goodness sucked out of it by other languages. Unless it is spectacularly interesting, I adopt just-in-time learning, which works pretty well on your 30th language.
