You are describing programming as if the language being used is the primary work skill and as if devs are somehow “trapped” by the language they happen to be paid to use at the time. I live in a very different world and over the past 13 years have been paid to write Obj. C, Python, PHP, CSS, JS, Ruby, Elixir, Golang and a small amount of Rust. All are still useful skills that I’m likely to encounter again. In a few cases, I used languages that later lost steam (Flash, CoffeeScript and Elm). It wasn’t a disaster, though. I just took what I’d learned and moved on.
