Voxera112156yIf you mean another programming language so sure.
I started in Basic, then Pascal, then visual basic, javascript, c#, typescript and have tried others along the way
I feel it makes you a better programmer as you have to challenge your reflex solutions and learn different ways to solve a problem.
This teaches you to better understand the differences between solutions so you can choose an alternative if its right for the task.
Growing to comfortable leads to using the same solution.

C0D4662246yI use PHP, Python JavaScript and Java... well Salesforce’s idea of Java anyway on a daily basis.
The struggle is real if you try and learn multiple languages at once.
Take 1, use it for a year or two and then learn another, otherwise you’ll be a Jnr of many and a master of none. -
Root784386yPicking up another language takes me about a week to get comfortable with it, and a couple of months to really get good with it.
