Different programming languages?

Will learning certain programming languages make you a better programmer by forcing you or allowing you to do things in a different way?

I'm mostly talking about Haskell, but any other thoughts are welcome

Yes.

Haskell is great. I remember trying to learn Lisp but quitting because it was a worthless pile of shit with stupid syntax.

I dismissed all functional programming until I decided to try out Haskell. It is pure programming bliss and I strongly recommend everyone become proficient in it.

it's a waste of time

Life is a waste of time.

Lisp is great. I remember trying to learn Haskell but quitting because it was a worthless pile of shit with stupid syntax.

I dismissed all homoiconic programming until I decided to try out Lisp. It is pure programming bliss and I strongly recommend everyone become proficient in it.

That is a question you could have answered yourself if you would self-reflected on it. Of course yes. You are asking:

Will learning certain _variations or methodologies of a job_ make you a [more versatile] _Professional of said Job_ by forcing you or allowing you to do things in a different way?

Is that not what we all do to survive: experiment things until we get the most profitable method to achieve something‽
