I enjoy learning and using both. What I like most I think is seeing the wide range of solutions that people and cultures have come up with for communicating abstract ideas (both spoken and programming languages). I'm a native English speaker and I remember how my mind was blown when I learned that Chinese characters convey meaning rather than sounds, so that speakers of different dialects could still understand each other's writing, even if they couldn't understand each other's speech. Similar feeling when I studied functional programming after using nothing but procedural/OOP for most of my life.
