You may have more difficulty getting help with an obscure language. Also, will find that you have to write your own code in situations where you would be able to use a module/library in another language. For instance, python comes with numerous modules (such as pickle) which allow you to achieve common tasks with ease, and there are many others available on the web (BeautifulSoup comes to mind).

On the other hand, after learning any programming language others come much more easily. Additionally, it will be to your educational benefit not to use the aforementioned modules but rather to write your own code.
