#39Why does age matter ? What is the point of asking about age ?
Not the OP, but I can be an interesting metric with regards to what people learn. For instance with regards to languages, do "younger" commenters learn more "hyped" languages than "older"? Or is the reverse?
In general I would classify it "just for fun" and the OP did state it was optional. Perhaps edited after your comment?

#4050. The very last thing I learned is that the language which gave us the original word for orange is now using the English word for it (yesterday).
The last completely new thing (for me) I learned was how to write a "hello world" program in Rust. ;-)
