Re:Learning new languages makes you a master of none? by jd on Sunday April 05, 2009 @10:43AM (#547409)
You don't use the new language exclusivity, it's just an extra tool in your toolbox. You just use it to expand your horizons. Knowing even a little Haskell will show you that a little type inference can go a long way. Or that reasoning about correctness is easier in a purely functional language.

I think the primary advantage of knowing many languages is knowing when you're using the wrong tool for the job.
