This is great news for Linux adoption. There will always be a lot of developers who don't do the job full-time or are only part way into a learning curve. They can now move to Linux and will find the whole experience very refreshing, PLUS they'll have opportunity to check out all of the other languages for free (and on a stable platform).
My suggestion to people is, when learning a new language, always have something real to create :
A) Because it makes you learn the language more thoroughly
B) Your efforts may pay dividends, rather than being a "look at what I did"
Imagine, you've created this really useful utility and your boss says "we could use that". Sure boss, let me just spend an hour building up a new Unix server for you and it's yours ;-)
