Where does that specialization stop, reasonably? Isn't this the same with JavaScript? If you have worked with any Algol-derived language you can learn them all.

In theory it doesn't stop. Most developers have the capacity to learn anything. In reality though I've found its more that some Devs are not willing to work with certain languages.
