> When you see these "cool" languages do you try them out?

Sometimes, but not usually. I'll try out a new language if there's something about the language that I find compelling (it can be technical, syntactic, or even just that the language amuses me) or if it looks like it will ease some actual problem I'm having. Otherwise, I wont.
