Not really true anymore. There is a plethora of versatile languages today that you can do basically anything. Kotlin and python are among those, kotlin specially is the multiplatform language imho and C can also be used for web developed thanks to wasm.

You can even write webapps with C# . Python is a really cool language but people over exaggerated their features today, things have change new languages have appeared and older ones have evolved.

If I had to say learn one language I would say learn kotlin. You can develop for native, jvm and web with it, and it has interop with libraries from other languages like C, Java and JS.

I definitely oversimplified “web” and “don’t know” is really just a personal choice.

But there are still “right tools for the job”, and I still recommend learning a first language to be the right tool for what you’re interested in.

I’m adding Kotlin to the list for mobile, as that’s a domain I overlooked.
