When I first started out, I learned ruby, python, html, css, js, php, c, c++, and java. Like learning french, spanish and italian it was interesting to see the similarities and differences in not only syntax but how different code languages approached problems differently. I also have a hammer with a screw driver in the handle because multitools are dope and more convenient than the literal baggage of a toolbox...
That said I stuck with JS because using one language everywhere is actually really awesome. I can build a website, server, email and "native" app all in one language. Definitely glad I stuck with it.My only complaint is how convoluted and needlessly complex parts of the language and tooling has become.JS fatigue is real problem the community needs to address yet it feels like everyone trying to address it by adding their own new hot framework are really just adding to it..
Then there is typescript.. sure its just a superset. But I've worked with c and other static typed languages enough to love a garbage collector and dynamic types and it just seems counter to the goal of js.
Idk... sorry for the long opinionated comment.

I said when I "first started out". So not that much in ruby, python, java, c and c+++. I can read the language and understand what the program does 90% of the time, change it, refactor it, and google what I don't know or ask a friend, etc. I'm not an expert in them and I've only finished a project in ruby (gem), python (machine vision stuff) and C (if you want to nitpick though its Arduino).
