Don't do this. You can (and definitely should, if you have time and are considering multiple languages) do it during the off season to get a hang of each language and play around with which one is better/easier to code with, but if you do this during build season, you will not end up using better code. You'll end up using code that only has half the time put into it that it could have had, which usually implies it's not as great as what it could have been.
