I'm a big believer in 'Perlis languages', where you learn a language for new perspectives and approaches rather than needing it for a specific domain. The tricky bit is: when can you say you've acquired those new perspectives?

Some great perspectives from JupyterCon: reproducible/explicit state is important, notebooks are replacing bash scripts in some workflows, and they're even used to introduce programming to total beginners!
