value in learning anything at any time, but for something like a programming
Hopefully this question even makes sense!
I completely agree that you don't need to spend time on
learning a language if you don't plan on using it; I'll
leave alone the entire discussion of doing things for fun
only (you don't *need* to eat ice cream, either - right?)
OTOH: do you plan to do

For windows/unix hosted user-space applications, Python is
pretty hard to beat.
Apparently, pythons _can_ be beat: (warning: graphic)

Same for me here too! C# on the work, Python earning at the evening. I
am bored to death with so many .net/C# years and i wanted to learn

I'm another one pretty early in his programming education, but here's my take.
Python was specifically recommended to me by a few people for a
specific program I wanted to write (userspace, GUI, music). While I
gradually learn more about it, I start to spend a lot of time on
certain aspects I
Anyway, Chuck's post doesn't question any of the competencies of
computer science. Is it safe to name-call silly, or have -I- by

Yeah, I do plan to use it for fun (if I can think of little projects to
work on!), and Python is definitely the only language I care
