No, it's not a joke. The idea is why bother learning an language that will score you little milage, in the context of the one you already know well. For example, if I'm a Web developer coding what CLI requirements I have in PHP, then I might venture to learn something like Javascript before ever touching Python. So yes, having mastery of multiple languages can help you, but it's best when these multiple languages don't overlap as much as PHP and Python. -nathan
nathan: I have to disagree with you a little-bit about this. If one knows the languages involved and realize their overlap, then they should have a better understanding of which language to use for what purpose. For example, which is better for styling CSS or Javascript? Both can do it, but one is the clear winner.

Is the winner JavaScript? *ducks and runs* I love Fridays!
