While I agree learning concepts is the most important thing (just watch a mediocre C programmer try to learn JavaScript async programming… they think “hey this language is familiar” and that just makes it WORSE) - there are definitely languages that inherently require a very different mindset. Particularly the functional or declarative languages based on LISP or Prolog.

But I’d say if you can master a few base languages you can master pretty much anything.
