I wish I had the motivation to learn the new crop of systems programming languages, even to learn more about C++ properly honestly, but it kind of feels like I just stick to C because I'd rather stick to what I know. It feels every time I try to touch another systems programming language I end up being demotivated by not seeing the benefit from the initial hurdle of "relearning new ways to express what are effectively the same solutions".

maybe I'm just not that excited about programming languages anymore to treat learning more about them as an entertaining activity in its own right, and that's Okay. in fact going by my coworkers I'd argue for most people that's Normal
