That's what they want you to believe of course.
Reality is: Nothing new under the sun :)

Nonsense. I improve every day. I don't waste my time learning another
language. I do learn new exciting things every day, and I apply them
best and fastest using the language I know best: Object Pascal.
Learning a new programming language is not useful in itself.
If I had to spend time learning new languages all the time, to be up
to date with all hype languages, I wouldn't be improving my useful set
of skills, and on top I would know all these languages only superficially.
No thanks...
But that is just my point of view, of course...
Michael.
