It can't be worse than playing video games or watching tv shows.

Seriously, this is never lost. The more languages/paradigms we know, the easier it gets to learn new languages. I think it's a good investment.

Pro gamers and TV critics are rolling their eyes. =D

I feel like in this day and age, you can be successful at anything if you put in enough hours. Key is probably in being active and critical instead of being mindless.

You could argue that if you see an activity as an investment, by definition it is NOT free time?

The counter argument could be that this defines free time as measured by its opportunity cost against something else, and not as just what you enjoy. I tell people all the time that what I'm doing isn't procrastination, it's sacrifice.
