One thing to consider is that the language is purposefully small, and you can learn the basics very quickly. Spend a day with it, and you'll get a feel for the language syntax and maybe some exposure to the standard library. You'll have a sense then whether you want to pursue it further.
So if you're curious, the compelling reason is that you can satisfy your curiosity without much effort, and that will ultimately be more satisfying than asking strangers to convince you one way or the other.
