Yes, that happens. One thing I've found that has been helpful is identifying the stuff about idiomatic "language X" that makes it "good", and try to adapt some of those traits to the current situation. I can say as I've moved in and out of other languages and companies/clients/teams, I've been able to identify good habits and behaviors, sometimes those are a result of languages or tooling in different ecosystems. That helps for 'solo' stuff. Trying to introduce those ideas and techniques in existing teams is almost always more difficult than it should be.
