The value of learning all those different languages is not that they're immediately and obviously useful. The value is that each one has a different set of tradeoffs and assumptions, and being fluent in all of them will teach you how to think more flexibly. Sure, a beginner should use a language where he gets feedback and support. But a beginner who aspires to be a real programmer rather than a 9 to 5 coder will need a much broader base of experience than he can get by only working in one or two languages, and understanding that sooner rather than later is key. |
