Comment on Ask HN: How many have learned a language they hated just to get a job?

Comments

I've never learned a language I've hated to get a job, but I've learned to hate many languages (or at least aspects thereof).

Learned being the operative word.

At this point in your career you'd be well served to learn idiomatic blub a few times over, in the same way you'll be well served to work with a variety of personality types.

When the time comes for your next venture, be it in 6 months, or 6 years, you'll make a better decision i.e. grounded in understanding, about each.

Rinse; repeat.

Edit:

I'm not suggesting you take just any old job, however. Be discerning.
