Is it better learning several programming languages or concentrating on a favourite one?

Question

Through the Last years I have crossed several languages. From Java, c++ to diverse Scripting languages. Sometimes I think the more new languages I learn or have to learn, it gets more confusing. Maybe I should be focussing on one to learn this profoundly?
Whats your oppinion on this?

Answer 1

learning multiple languages is obviously a plus point. It broadens your thinking ability. But, beginners should always master one language first. then move to other languages.

Answer 2

Learning several languages will give you easier understanding of new ones,its better to learn something about everything than everything about something

Answer 3

I believe that learning more than one programming language is a good idea. At least you can compare and make a better decision with which language you would like to start your future projects.

I do agree that it gets confusing by the time, that's why you need to focus on one programming language and make it your daily driver.

Answer 4

More languages you learn ,more tools you will have under your belt.
but none is useful if you don't have command over them.
One can master a language not by theoretical reading but by practicing .
so don't go to another language before commanding your current language
