It has helped that in the last 10 years most of the languages have converged to an extent. Like before things like generics and lambda expressions C#/Java were quite different to Python/Ruby, and js used to be quite an abysmal language but with some nice features nothing else had (still is an awful language to an extent). I think C# 2.0 and 3.5 really changed that language for the better, Java spent a lot of time getting to the C# 3.5 level. And I remember a time when C++ was almost incomprehensible if you'd never worked in it, but now it seems to be a lot less daunting as you've got bridging languages like Rust and Go. I must admit I've still no interest in Haskell/F#/etc. I tried Lisp about 10 years ago and it just seemed such a pain, for me I find imperative programming so much easier to map out complex interactions in my head. I also find set based programming like SQL very easy. But functional, ugh.
