I didn't want to learn C++. I learned it anyway because it was the best in the niches I was interested in, as well as there being existing programs that I wanted to contribute to that were written in C++.

I can state for a certainty that if I had waited around for the perfect language before making the leap, it would have negatively affected both my career and hobbyist dalliances.
