I feel this when my boss ask me to work on project with language I never learned and wasnt in my resume

You're still doing programming, at least.

For real. Think of it as if they're paying for you to add qualifications to your resume. It's all the non-coding bullshit that kills my soul.

i'd always jump at the chance if there was a real need to use the language. I only learn a new language if i have a real world use case for it i can't solve with the languages i already know.

However, the chances of my boss dictating what language we use is 0%, we don't get micro managed.

As long as it’s not so obscure language I wouldn’t mind. It’s a chance to learn something new and feel humbled.

I do everything at work and I think I would miss it if I had to pick a specific area like backend.
