As time has passed, I found I can not really learn a programming
language unless I have to solve nontrivial tasks in it; otherwise I
just learn to use the new syntax for writing in a language I already
know. As most of these tasks happen at my workplace, I am somewhat
limited to languages that will be accepted by my colleagues. But
sometimes I try to learn a new programming language precisely because
I will be able to use this langauge when using other's language
syntax: I've already wrote Python in Java (and vice versa), LISP in
C++, Scheme, C++ and assembly in C and in Java; there always was some
gain in using foreign techinques. Now I try to learn ML so I would be
able to write ML in C++.

And as an answer to your question: I do not consider the name as
relevant; I will learn FPC if it will be an acceptable choice in my
workplace or will give me something I do not know yet.
