Venturing outside the box is fine. But it's an idiosyncratic choice without much, if any, upside and is ultimately a distraction and hides behind some perceived rational decision to use it. The linked Stack Exchange covers this, and one should consider the appropriateness of the tool being used. I think he'd agree on the same for programming languages.
