LOL. The problem I have is that I'm not learning any new 
languages anymore. Not only do I never have enough time to do all 
that I want to get done with D itself, but if I'm working on a 
project that I care about at all, I want to do it in D. But in my 
experience, to really learn a new language, you need to either be 
using it all the time at work, or you need to be using it as you 
go-to language for all of your side projects. If you don't, you 
don't really end up using it enough to really learn it. And since 
I really want to be doing my side projects in D (and I work in 
C++), I'm really not experimenting with other languages much, and 
I'm definitely not learning them well. I haven't even learned 
C++11/14 properly, because I can't use it at work yet, and almost 
all the programming I do in my free time is in D.

But everything other than D is just so frustrating anyway. ;)
