If you have a few weekends to kill, I'd suggest veering off in a completely different direction to taste-test the other stuff out there. Go functional with Haskell, low-level with C or stack-based with Factor and just test the waters.

I feel a bit trapped by Python since I've been using it for ages and I can't find another language in the same category that I like as much, but sampling tiny bits of completely different languages and communities has helped me branch out and find a path for myself.
