On the other hand, I have experienced a situation where a fairly young group experienced tech burnout from having to learn too much at once. It's a really tricky balance. I was definitely on the side of "We're programmers! Learning programming languages is like drinking water for us" originally, but now I step back a bit every time we think of introducing new tech. Still, spiking a solution in a couple of different languages seems awesome and I can think of a few projects I've worked on that would definitely have benefited from that.
