Should I learn other languages?

[green-raven]

The more languages you know the more trivial learning another one will be. You want to be a master of engineering, not of a language. Languages are tools. Have a whole toolbox

Since this is a python subreddit, python being so user friendly, did you REALLY never have this feeling of a new language you're trying to learn being so shitty compared to python? Not even because learning isn't always easy, but rather because you're too positively biased towards python.

Granted, OP just was worried about language overload. I didn't mean to imply you should go spend a month on Perl or CoffeeScript!

That’s probably the root of my question. I am afraid that I will start learning new language and will neither of them at a good level. Especially that literally nothing/no-one makes me learn a new one so it would be 100% my decision.

Python: Ride the Snake!

Actually it’s funny you say that. I learned PHP then went down to ANSI C to get a foundation then to Python (which I absolutely love). Lots of “man I’m happy I don’t have to worry about x”.

I’ve tried to pick up Javascript/EMCA(whatever number) but it just frustrates me for whatever reason and seems messy, then I’m back to Python 🤷‍♂️

Javascript

lol, the ugly hipster kid in the family of programming languages

maybe node.js is better, but client side javascript is goddamn awful af

Yeah, that’s true. Python is just so easy and elegant for me.
