the only dead ends are those you make yourself. I have used over 12 programming languages over the years. NONE of them have been dead ends. as I'm always learning and programming is one of those skills that aren't limited to languages you use. sure the syntax is different but programming concepts remain the same. I always use this analogy of what a programming language is. If you want to tell a french person how to do something and a german person. its better if you speak THEIR language. the information and context , plot of your subject matter remain the same. you just have to talk to them in their language. thats all that programming languages are. a language that both you and the computer know and can communicate with, and the more you understand the language the more you can do with it.
I draw a lot of knowledge from all the languages i've used, none of it is wasted. you learn more from your mistakes than you do from doing everything right the first time. and believe me theres always more than one way to write the same program in the same language.
