Is the choice of a programming language really important?

Question

you can try one of two paths

1) master in only one language

2) known as many languages as you can

both have pros and cons

in case 1) you can be obsessed or you are too lazy to learn another

or you really need to master it

in case 2) you can be a generalist no expert in any language

or you have a lot of knowledge

What's your opinion

What's is your case

Answer 1

what matters is how good one is at using any language and what is made out of the language .That's my opinion.In fact ,since majority of languages borrow their basics from the very original languages like C , its only prudent to explore the unique and salient features in each language that extends the original language, which is analogous to considering the additional and beneficial properties and behaviours of a subclass that extends a superclass.

Answer 2

Obviously not. What matter is how we think of problems and the ability to solve the problem.

Answer 3

@xcalifer that's right but some languages evolve more than other too
