I am serious. Most people think that learning new languages gives some sort of spiritual enlightenment. But in reality most languages are minefield of legacy problems and hidden traps. The 'boost' or enlightenment usually comes from learning new stuff, not just programming language. Sure if you like some new clearly designed language (Clojure comes to mind) give it try. But do not expect miracles from 20 years old platform. I dont want to argue about languages. All languages have to keep backward compatibility and for outsider Java is strange as well. Lets just say that all of those points are my opinion.
