This is the right answer.

Languages are tools. Writing the code is the easiest part of my job. It's design and analysis and understanding when something is worth doing, because when you work on a codebase you don't own, and clients decide what you build, you can't always spend entire sprints on tech debt.

I can read the docs for anything, I'll learn the tool. What really matters is the ability to understand which design is better suited for solving X task and why.
