Which ones aren't we using? I get the "opportunity" to be a shitty developer in multiple languages all at the same time - Python, Scala, Angular, and Java, to name a few main ones. All these people naming just one language (or even 2) are making me jealous. I'd probably be less shitty if I got to focus.

I don't think that being able to develop in multiple languages implies that you're going to be bad at developing in those languages at all. I've been a dev for a very long time, and am competent in a lot of different languages (expert in far fewer, of course). But I don't use all of those languages all the time.
