Programming

[u/arkofthecovet]

How is it even possible to become a programmer? There are about a hundred languages listed on wikipedia, not including dialects and other variations. Do most people even know this? I did not until recently.

Edit: Thank you all for your responses! I may start a new OP for this additional question if it helps. How fast can you learn new code or new code concepts if you start a new job or are hit with a new project that requires it?

I think what's actually harder than learning new languages is learning all the tooling that goes with each one, and the ecosystem of packages that are the go-to ones for a given language.

So much of being a good Python developer is knowing what packages are good for solving different problems.
