"The only way to learn a new programming language is by writing programs in it." - The C Programming Language, K&R

  But "become a better developer" is not just "learn a new programming language"

    It depends. Being able to stitch multiple languages together definitely has its “whole is greater than the sum of its parts” aspects to it. Better programming for me is creating or discovering a tool that is useful to me that makes some part of my path to programming better. Building your own version of a language can be a fun way to get better at coding too. Grab the base source of any language and find all the string values and start do a mass search and replace to new ones that don’t exist yet in the language. The problems you will run into will bring you to examine parts of the language you weren’t aware of.
