I would agree with some of the commenters: you need experience and write more code using a single programming language of your choice. But before you do so, here are some of my suggestions, take it with a grain of salt because it may not work for you. 1) Quit HNews. You won't learn how to build software here. Most people rehash the same "technical" speak again and again about consumer application (web scaling, javascript, functional, anti-enterprise, etc). 2) Clear your mind Go out. Walk in the park more. Don't think too much about programming languages. I suspect you're drawn to a distortion field of "learning programming language X will make you better at Y". Once you got that cloud away, start exploring what you wanted to do. 3) Pick a language and be good with it Again, don't worry too much about the other programming languages unless you want to learn them for the fun of it. If your goal is to build something, stick with one.
