It’s all dialect in the end. I learned BASIC on a Commodore PET in fifth grade in 1983, and have been programming in one form or another ever since. The important thing is whether you can think logically and systematically about a problem and devise clever and efficient ways of solving it taking all the parameters into account. The language in which you solve it is secondary, once you can accomplish that.

Amen brother! When you believe this, the only answer to the question, “...which languages do you know...” is “All.” There is no need to play alphabet soup when you understand the fundamentals of problem solving using a computer. It’s not conceit, it’s confidence.
