Programming languages can be fun to learn, very much like learning a human language. Once you know one language of either, learning another one is just learning new ways to express the same things. Or that's one way to look at it. In fact, learning a new language can be more than just a brain exercise to ward off dementia. You get exposed to new ideas. and to new people who think differently and come from different backgrounds. Here's a listing of some of the languages I know, and have contributed to here on Rosetta Code. No favorites, since each one has given me a lot.
