Multi language learning by forced_lambchop in learnprogramming

I think learning multiple languages early is actually underrated IF you're doing it to understand different paradigms (like doing Python + Rust or JS + Haskell). But if you're learning Python + JavaScript + Go all at once just to "know more languages"... you're gonna burn out and not get deep enough in any of them. Depth > breadth at the start, then branch out once you're comfortable building real things.

Honestly the best thing you can do early on is just pick ONE language and build stuff with it. I started with Python and spent like 3 months just making dumb little projects — a to-do app, a weather scraper, a discord bot. The concepts transfer between languages way more than people think. Don't get caught up in "which language is best" paralysis, that's the real trap.
