As a professional software engineer, I've used a number of different
languages throughout my career, both professionally and personally. I
agree that variety is good; the more languages you've used, the broader
your perspective gets and the better a programmer you become
indepentent of the language that you're currently using.

That said, it's been almost 4 years since I've had to code in C++, and
I'll die a happy man if I never have to use that particular language
again. :-/
