If you experienced +such a delight, you would know that how addictive it is. I can't satisfy my hunger for knowledge and it might sounds like a gloat but it's truly joyful (ok mate, you love to "read", get on with it).

So clearly I never say "No" to learning a new programming language and because of that I have lots of experience with different languages. Each language taught me tons of new things and helped me enhance my skills.
