I think this is a really worthwile response. By some people's standards, I'm a polyglot. I do C++, C# and Python currently. Ive also done C, VB, VB Script, JS and worked with a multitude of assembly languages (Motorola 68k, Atmel AVR, Zilog Z80, MIPS, x86(64) and a few self designed ISAs in college). I don't prominently advertise these on my CV, theyre in the bottom with the "previously used". I mean being able to read x86 is useful at times debugging, but I've only ever written a few lines, and that was to fix some bad inline assembly in an OSS library.
Point is, having a few tools in the toolbox is great. Knowing when to use each tool is priceless. Having a lot of tools in the toolbox, but not knowing how to use them effectively is the sign of a poor crastman.
Have a few tools, and know them well. That's not to say dont explore and learn, of course do that, but maintain your primary focus on your core skills and dont ignore improving those, either.
