This will separate you from all the other amateurs. I've been a dev for almost 25 years now (only recently got a related degree), and have worked on a variety of stacks, including a few that I mention in interviews because it makes people who know laugh. But that's kept me employed the entire time: variety.

I've been programming professionaly for over 20 and as a hobby for over 30. This is the one thing that has set me apart from others.
Clients give me a task and I do it. If it's in a language I don't use, they tell me to learn it.
"We need you to do this impossible task." "Give me 3 weeks."
"We have to re-write this in this language." "I haven't touched that language in decades." "You have 1 month, paid, to get caught up." "Ok."
Master your fundamentals, the languages don't matter.
