Comment on: How many (programming) languages does a coder really know? - Quora

You should learn as many languages as it takes to satisfy your intellectual curiosity. If you want to cover the bases: an assembly language (I recommend ARM), an unsafe "high level" language like C or C++, a high level statically typed object oriented language like Java, a dynamically typed one like Smalltalk, a pure/lazy functional language like Haskell, a strict/impure functional language like ML, a logic language like Prolog or Mercury, a concurrency focused language like Erlang or Go, and a Lisp for the sheer power/terror of high level metaprogramming.

For your career, learn one or two languages extremely well, to the point you could write it from scratch given the time.
