The mental exercise is definitely good. If you only knew one language knowing another will probably increase your knowledge of your native one as well.
I'm not saying it's a must but it can come handy and be a healthy exercise.
- isaacremuant 12y agoHN is severely disappointing. Here I was thinking it was different from Reddit regarding downvotes and intelligent discussion but it's not. It's downvote on disagreement.
- dang 12y agoPlease don't post comments like this. They break the guidelines ("Resist complaining about being downmodded"—https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html) and the downvote being complained about is often soon corrected by other users. That's what happened with yours. We all know how annoying it is to have a reasonable comment downvoted, but (a) it happens to everyone, (b) sometimes it's just a misclick, and (c) changing the subject to that only lowers the signal/noise ratio.
- isaacremuant 12y agoNoted. I was negatively surprised after seeing a trend. Won't happen again.
