Re:Ask HN: Did you learn a language this year?

(#3396030)
This year:
- I wrote my first C++ app using Qt
- I tried getting into Django and RoR, coming from a PHP background. Unfortunately, I haven't yet had a chance to code anything worthwhile in either Python or Ruby.
My goals in 2012:
- Create a non-trivial Ruby or Python app. Still haven't chosen between the two. Ruby currently seems more popular but Python is used quite a bit in my company and for engineering applications in general.
- Program an HTML5/JS game, eventually using GameJS.

- Maybe learn Java for Android.
