I think the fragmentation in languages is the biggest detriment to the software industry and new use-cases enabled by software. Each reinvention of the wheel disgusts me as a self-serving drag on everyone else.

Why not? Php, go, Java

It's fun. I've probably learned a few dozen languages for kicks at this point. After the first handful in a family it gets a lot faster!

Occasionally one of them comes up when you least expect it, too...

Potential consideration for interesting new roles/projects

Opportunities

Nothing anymore, they all have good and bad parts in them. The worst usually is fanboy community in any of them, so blindsided....

Agreed. Used to be opportunities but not so much now a days.
