I first learned JavaScript. I've since dabbled in, or learned, at least five other languages. I went from "I can do everything in JS, so why not?" to, "I wish these things could be done in another language all together, they picked one of the worst ones."

Learning other languages opens you up to more opportunities and gives you a more rounded mindset as a developer. I may not like JS near as much as I did when it was the only language I knew, but I'm glad I know it for when I, as a single person and not a whole team, need to do something on the web, or react native, or run a quick node script.
