I just sort of end up learning stuff without actually making a deliberate effort to do so. Sometimes I learn because it interests me, sometimes because I need to, but mostly because I find it interesting. I guess I don't really set out to learn, I just sort of gather experience Edit: What I'm trying to say is that I don't see much value in planning out what you're going to learn as those sort of plans almost never work out. Instead, just try stuff and see what you like; what you have an affinity for. As you gain experience in one area you'll find yourself branching out naturally. Let your curiosity and enjoyment guide you. The languages you derive the most joy from are those where you'll be most productive

I think I'm the same as you and wonder if most people are The OP question is something I would've obsessed over when I was in my teens, wanted to start programming, but spent more time planning my eventual entry into programming. Once I started programming and making real applications, I became really confident in my ability to pick up any other language as needed. I totally agree that learning new languages are part of a natural progression that's hard to avoid if you're truly enjoying your craft in whatever aspect of the territory interests you.
