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.
