"Intelligence is the ability to react to change" - SHawkins
The best programmers are always learning new languages, programs, frameworks etc. Avg programers get good at 1 thing and stay with it.
The real difference is that the first group is training their brain how to learn and adapt quickly - that is the skill that will keep them employed long past the days of simply writing code.
Writing python or C is not the skill. The skill is how quickly can you deal with a new problem you have never seen before.
