I dig it. Getting started these days is a lot easier than it used to be. What kind of stuff would you want to do if you were to learn a language? One language with a low bar as far as learning goes is javascript, and these days it can be used both as a server and client. It's also included in all major web browsers which makes it easier to distribute your code. It's not the most efficient language or anything, but it is pretty powerful, and it can be a good stepping stone to other languages. You don't need to compile anything to run a basic javascript program. You don't even need to download anything. you can just open the developer console on your browser of choice (ctrl-shift-I or cmd-opt-I on mac) and start hacking javascript right there.
