At some point, that ‘one’ language can just be the one you work with at your job. It’s not required to like this langage. My main langage is Typescript in the front end. I hate it with passion (tbh, it’s the JavaScript part and the terrible ecosystem, ts is pretty smartly designed) and it will never be a requirement (on my side) for my next company to use typescript. Even working on front end is not a requirement although I mostly did only that for years.
And what made me a better Typescript programmer was to hack some F#, C#, Elixir, Rust, Python… Not even real projects but just little katas and a lot of documentation readings.
In my experience, becoming specialist in a langage can even be dangerous if your work doesn’t consists of « framework code » because the more you know about the machinery, the more you are tempted to write code that nobody else will understand. Of course it’s a trend I saw, not a general rule.
