This is a mature view of it as well. Although my path is a bit different, the brain can only master so much. Those guys that say they know 50 programming languages never really do.

I can place a dozen or so programming languages on my resume, with honest experience in each of them. I've only retained competence in the 2 or 3 I'm presently using, and wouldn't pretend otherwise.

Mature view is probably right, as I am getting up there in age. There is lots of neat frameworks and technologies out there, unfortunately, you can only go so far financially in software development and I am approaching that ceiling; thus my interests have swayed to financials and investing.

Agree, i am 33 years old man, and i have 10 years development experience on my career.
Learning new things is depend on the career.
Did anyone rememeber Microsoft Dynamic Data, Silverlight, Expression Blend tool?
There is dead and no company needs it any more.
or modern technology like WPF, WCF... on my country it is very less company to use.
I stay on winform, webform, mvc, jquery, it really out dated compare to young peoples.
But i rather to study some project management knowledge.
As same as dozen PHP framework today, many developer relay to them, but we don't know which one will lose support next year.

Before wasting your time learning something, you should learn from the past. Otherwise you are doomed to repeat the mistakes.
So, by all means:
Interpreters are great. Who cares about performance. Who cares about memory.
Who needs type safety or object orientation?
Who needs debuggers, profilers and all those other tools? Debugging is much more fun if you do it like we used to on a C64:
235870 PRINT "X = " + X
235880 IF X <> 5784565824 THEN GOTO HELL
Who needs new languages, frameworks and approaches every five minutes? How about letting those we already have mature?
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"You mean like from space?"
