Programming languages can be fun to learn, very much like learning a human language. Once you know one language of either, learning another one is just learning new ways to express the same things. Or that's one way to look at it. In fact, learning a new language can be more than just a brain exercise to ward off dementia. You get exposed to new ideas. and to new people who think differently and come from different backgrounds. Here's a listing of some of the languages I know, and have contributed to here on Rosetta Code. No favorites, since each one has given me a lot.

My Favorite Languages
Language	Proficiency
Ada	Live and kicking butt
AppleScript	Fun as heck
ARM Assembly	Arm under the hood
C	Can't be beat
C++/CLI	Yeah
C++	Gets work done
Java	Gotta know this
Objective-C	Still a need to know
Perl	Lot of history but archived now
PostScript	Fundamental CS
Python	Useful now

-Name is Troy Korjuslommi.
+Once you know one language of either, learning another one is just learning new ways to express the same things.
-I like to work with My Favorite, yet most work gets done by my Right Arm.
+Or that's one way to look at it.
-I am not against Fun Scripting, but prefer to have static checking.
+In fact, learning a new language can be more than just a brain exercise to ward off dementia.
-I have also been known to dabble in graphics with My Pencil. When All Else Fails,
+You get exposed to new ideas. and to new people who think differently and come from different backgrounds.
-I draw instead.
+Here's a listing of some of the languages I know, and have contributed to here on Rosetta Code.
-My Ex and I still get along, but rarely see each other.
+No favorites, since each one has given me a lot.
-I do resort to the Core quite often, but prefer my Right Arm because it has more muscle to get work done fast.
-I use mostly GNU/Linux, so I don't have to compare Apples and Oranges.

-I think it's healthy to have something on the side, like my Current Fling, as they can teach you new ideas.
