It's helpful to list skills at the bottom of your resume for HR departments doing basic pattern matching. However to paint a clearer picture I would:
1. Write relevant bullet points that show what value you provided for your previous company and BOLD languages along the way.
E.g.
- Architected a product that does $X revenue with Y
languages
- Stabilized systems of X which allowed throughput of Y% more connections with Z language/framework
2. Include a summary/objective in your LinkedIn/Resume. E.g. I'm an all-around developer that isn't afraid of X, Y, Z
- melle 10y agoFocusing on the business value is great advice! I do think that this would be especially beneficial once you've passed the first screening. I might be wrong here, but I don't think most HR people take business value into account as it is not in the 'official' job description.

And at all companies being able to state your accomplishments in terms of business value helps a gate keeper understand your resume better and shows your ability to communicate effectively.
