So, I started doing frontend stuff and I am really getting into the nitty-gritty of what programming actually is through Javascript. Putting the argument of whether CSS and HTML is programming or not aside,... (it's not. Now I know.) I am curious about people's feelings and thoughts on their SECOND programming language.

I have heard that it really shapes your style, opinion, and approach to programming. I am still only on my first language, and my head is exploding because I am having to rewire my entire thinking to approach solving problems from the perspective of a machine.

I also know there aren't a lot of syntactical differences between many of the languages, so it becomes a matter of learning a few different words and some different syntax... But what does it mean to learn a new programming language to you guys? Did it blow your mind all over again (new possibilities?!), make you feel warm and fuzzy, make you want to rip your hair out (because you had to learn something tedious), or any other surprising feeling you had when you took on your second language?

I am looking forward to answers like:
"Learning my second programming language was like having sex with my second love. It still had the ferocity and passion of copulation with my first deep love, but with more precision, foreplay, and better technique."

Bonus points for using programming lingo in your analogy. I am sure you will come through.
