The universe of programming languages extends far beyond this little island of ALGOL-lookalikes. Objective-C messaging syntax is utterly mundane compared to many common, useful syntaxes used in practical (but different) languages every day. IMO you do yourself a disservice if you don't branch out and try some different things once in a while, and remember that they're just programming languages, and syntax is just syntax, nothing really all that important.
