It is of course worth learning, very much like Java, PHP, C, or Cobol. These languages are going to be with us for a long time, just because of the large amount of important code written in them.
If you want fun, you might consider other languages, like Ruby, or Clojure, or Rust, or Scala, or Elixir, or... But they are not going to be as much the foundation of corporate software, exactly because they are more expressive and require higher qualification to handle well. The languages from the first list, though, while more boring, provide a more certain piece of bread and butter.
