True, but sooner or later, most of us will have to learn a new language regardless of the starting one.
For example, I started out with Java, and was very quickly forced to become operational with the web stack (i.e. HTML + css + JS and the various frameworks, like Node, React, and Redux), Golang, and Python.
The idea is that the language is just an implementation detail.
