Do you feel like Javascript is a language that you can focus on for your entire development career? Or do you think that's doable with other languages, too?

Oh yes absolutely 100%! Plus once you learn JS or any other language, it's super easy to go back and forth and learn other languages. :) There is PLENTY of JS jobs and JS need these days. Node, for example, React Native for mobile, and just general front end too.

JS is the easiest to me IMO but maybe I have chosen the wrong path! I also believe it's who you are surrounded by and what you're talking about on a daily!

Seems like you've chosen the right one! Any advice on finding the right people to surround yourself with?
