asgs115635yBecause there's no perfect language?
And how constantly are you exploring new ones? Monthly once is fine -
hack64565yBecause programming languages are beautiful and there is many of them. I love learning them too.

Bubbles68265yIt’s good to know more than one language. Some languages preform better in certain scenarios or maybe there’s a way that is quicker/easier to write.

DevMike4115yThank you, guys! You have put my mind at ease! I thought I was the only one for a second. I always see people saying, CHOOSE A LANGUAGE AND STICK TO IT! I find that SO boring and somewhat counter active.

slashasdf445yEasy fix: just get a job programming in primarily one language and then after work you will be too burned out to try anything new!

Nop, Explored when I was still at school:
Java, C, C++, Basic (Various versions), Assembler (MC68000 and x86), PhP, JavaScript, Pascal.
(Side note : I made an HTML app in Delphi with full connectivity between JavaScript and Pascal code about 16 years ago, way before Electron, chromium and co and I realized fast that it is a worst possible approach for app development)
Now It's C#/TypeScript and that's it. Maybe some powershell/other shell when I really need to make a script and can’t use C#.
Scala, go, ruby, python, perl and co don't even interest me. I don't even want to try.
Why can't I pick a programming language and just stick with it? Anyone else constantly exploring new languages?
