I learned it a few years ago, just for fun. I have it in my back pocket for a personal project. The language has some odd corners to learn (and they are what make it special), but it's not so difficult you can't forget about it for a year and then come back to your project, as I have.

There's some highly specialist aspects you _could_ learn (like anything I suppose), but I've got enough to get by and be as productive as I'd like without needing to get to that level.

So there's no harm in learning enough to get by for fun.

Compare to e.g. Haskell, which I learned at university, I have a memory that you'd have to invest quite heavily to make it do something useful.
