[perlpimp]

It is a question of character and what the person wants to get out of next learned language. Sometimes people want to impress peers, get a raise - reasons can be many. Honesty is important factor here. Sometimes there's the superior coder in the peer group, it may worth the time to ask him/her whatever is the neat language to learn, so in process there is someone to discuss peculiar bits of whatever the person is learning.

Be honest why you want to get out of it make a plan/schedule for achievables, get focused and get started! =)
