Joe Armstrong's blog entry has some great quotes and insights. This type of thinking is exactly why you need to learn another language.
The Road we didn't go down

So if you pick a new technology too close to what you already know, it might feel too easy. If so, back up and adjust your technical workout plan. Hit the muscles you haven't used in a while.
Feel the burn! ;)
