To be a successful computer scientist or programmer in general, you must be able and willing to learn more than one programming language. This is for a large number of reasons, one important one being that some languages are better suited/equipped to doing a task or solving a problem.
An example is Python (my primary). It can do pretty much anything the other languages are able to do. However, let's say I was tasked with making an app that wasn't only efficient but very fast. Now, python is very fast, but other languages such as C# is better at performance down to the basic level than python.
Another example is if I wanted to build a webpage. Python can do it for sure, easily in fact. But it requires me to import a few libraries and doing several extra steps. Instead, html for example can accomplish the same task with far fewer lines of code and with most likely better performance.
That was just one reason to learn other languages. There are tons more. But I thought this would be the best one to use.
Remember, once you know one language, other programming languages are extremely easy to learn.
