As programmers, we deal primarily in abstractions. Our programming languages offer formal tools for creating and manipulating abstractions. In my view, any language that offers more tools for abstractions is better than another language that offers fewer such tools. As a professional whose primary job is to deal with abstractions, any new kind of abstraction is of interest. All programmers should be not only willing to be constantly learning new techniques and new abstractions, but we should be eager to learn and apply these things. Bigger toolbox => better quality of life w.r.t. work.
Even at my day job, I've heard things like "that's too computer sciency for mere mortals". I'm sorry, are we not computer scientists? Are we in the habit of employing people who are not professional programmers to write our software? And to think I'm the only developer in the office without a master's degree, as if they all decided that once they graduated they were finished learning...
Heaven forbid you should have to learn something! To educate yourself! To grow in terms of knowledge and skill! Do we have "development goals" every year for no reason at all?
As if spending an hour or two learning something would kill you!
AAARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
