I think it’s admirable to try other languages for a day. I’ve spent less than a day noodling with dozens of languages that seem interesting. I’ve never tried dart, kotlin, elm or Scala. Why not? Is it prohibitively expensive? No. I just haven’t taken the time and the initiative.

More people should spend a day with go, even if they don’t stay around it’s still nice to learn something new!

Elm is a spectacular "weekend language". You really can learn the entire thing and get a solid feel for it in a weekend.
