npub129gvast08lj986yftn7q5qlnj8yfqufxx0m33s9u5xssjm8c64rsve4kwg (npub129g…4kwg) I'm sorta inclined to disagree with this. I do think you should definitely focus on having a strong grasp of one language (or perhaps a couple languages, depending on the circumstances. HTML/CSS/JS are always gonna be a Ménage à trois, for example, so you'll learn all three along the way regardless).
However, there is benefit to having a wider breadth of knowledge about other languages, even if the skills learned there don't translate well to other languages. I learned Java academically in college, though that is where I also came to loathe it... But, I still have that knowledge (to a basic extent) should I ever need it. From a practicality standpoint, having that knowledge definitely opens more doors of possibility for you in the long run.
