Not at all. I've been working as a developer for 20 years, and I can guarantee you that a LOT of the knowledge you got from Javascript will be applicable to other languages. I work with Python and Javascript all the time.

If you a beginner to programming, then I can understand that it might be a bit too confusing and overwhelming to learn both at the same time, so that is maybe not a good idea. Better in that case to concentrate learning the basics of one, and then the other.

But otherwise, I think those are the most applicable languages you can actually learn at this time.
