as part of my own professional development I try and spend enough time to get a good grasp of a new language every year.
I don't master it, and typically, I don't even have the opportunity to use the language in my work - however learnging the implementation
and special little tricks of each language helps me, in general, to become a better developer.
It also better prepares me for future problems as I have a larget toolbox from which to dig into to find the right tool to solve a customers problem.

I've been working in ActionScript 2 this past week, working with our
Flash guy on a remoting ecommerce application, and one thing that has
struck me is how quickly I jumped into the OO aspect of it. Working in
CF can really spoil you sometimes, since it's not strictly OO, and
since most of us start out learning CF procedurally, we may not even
recognize when we're being bad. While you can work in AS2
procedurally, it's strongly discouraged, and since I want to get
better at this OO thing anyway, I started right away coding classes,
dispatching and delegating events, encapsulating, trying different
patterns and just generally getting my hands dirty. It helps that
someone else is doing the interface (and is as excited about
discovering these new things as I am.) This is one of those things
where learning more than one language can help not only in your job
prospects, but your general understanding of things; I've been able to
take all the OO principles I've learned doing CF and immediately apply
them to AS.
Okay, discuss! :)
