There’s a lot of wisdom in that observation.
Knowing a lot of languages well is a super-power in some ways, but heavily polyglot environments create real pragmatic challenges. There’s a reason so many marquee shops carefully curate a (short) menu of production languages.
It’s been my experience that if (and it’s a big if) you have either the need or inclination to operate a big orgy of polyglot language interop, the hellacious learning curves on NixOS and Bazel are “The Way”. It’s a big investment and only worth it if you’re pretty committed/obligated, but there is a path for those whose needs justify the cost.
