"ridiculously in love" with a programming language?
Ok, I'll describe my condition when I experienced that. I was coding in C under MS-DOS and PIC assembler at the time. C++ was starting to become a thing, and I was just starting to sniff at Linux. I needed a change of venue in several major ways.
About this time, I started picking up a little python and perl. Interpretive languages had just opened up to me, and I was IN LOVE. The things I could do without writing a framework to support it impressed me a lot.
I was so very naive that new-to-me language features were a huge deal.

Hope that helps.
