I'd say 5: JavaScript, Python, Ruby, Java, Swift. There are a few more I could hack my way through, but probably couldn't really right a solid program without a solid amount of learning.
Similar to my list
Maybe more than 10. 😁
Which?
C#, Elixir, C, C++, Java, Typescript, Python, Javascript, Kotlin, Dart, Haskell, etc.
But, well. I only use C#, Typescript and Python for my daily task.

Are you happy with the list as is for a while or do you intend to broaden?
of course i will broaden but according to a plan
What's the plan?
I second that, what's the plan?
Well, I know C++ (to a moderate extent), Java, JavaScript (and TypeScript, if you'd like to distinguish the two), and Janky (the not-popular popular programming language I want to make).
If you include HTML, there's that, too.
Oh, and there's Python, but I rarely code in that now days, so I just say "I forgot, I know nothing.".
Javascript, Python, Swift
Not that many, I know
You can do a heck of a lot with those three!
My list (Most used at the top):
C++
Python
TypeScript and JavaScript
C#
HTML & CSS
Dart
MATLAB
Know as in I can read it and write descent code in it
Only Javascript
Lots you can do with just JS!
C, C++, C#, Java, JavaScript, PHP and Python.
Here Know means, Programming languages I have ever written a program in.😄
C
C++
Python
JavaScript
Golang
Just little bit of Ruby (used years ago)
I can use JS and Python, also can hack my way around Golang and TS as of right now.
Which was the hardest to pick up?
Great question! JS was my first coding experience, so that was the most difficult for sure. Golang has the most 'different' syntax and rules re assignments and mutability of all of them, so that's proving to be my biggest obstacle right now, but TypeScript is deceptively difficult in that it's an entirely different language from JS (not a framework) and I didn't realize that fully before diving in. Python's been by far the easiest.
How about for you? We have a couple in common I think.
oh and I guess I forgot to include SQL, JSON, and GraphQL. I think of those less as programming languages (disclaimer: do not know the official def for a programming language; I know folks like to get technical with it but who am I to deny someone CSS or whatever they code in) and more like ways to represent or request data.
I been using JavaScript for a while, but do use CSS when I need to style my web pages.
I dunno if HTML is considered one but that’s another one.
Been trying to learn C# to creat Unity games. It’s been really fun to program lately
Taking 'know' as being 'languages I've written a program in'...
Also wrote my own scripting language for creating "wizards" to guide users through common tasks in a system... does that count?
Dayum
I now remember that I had forgotten AMOS BASIC on my list. :-D
I just punted anyway and said "several flavors".
The creators of AMOS have a new project that is very similar - AOZ Studio
what's the name of the language your created ?
I didn't name it - it was only ever used internally. I built interpreters to run the wizard scripts both on a desktop app (Visual Basic), and on the web
(c) 1982 Sinclair Research Ltd
No TI-BASIC? lol
I have two books here next to my desk for writing in BASIC. One of them is for games. It was such a different world back then!
Hm, I guess TS/Js, Python, C#, Ruby. It'd be too weird to write MEL here, it was an obscure 3D authoring scripting language.
Should we count SQL too? :)
Do you think more languages are automatically better? I felt I became a much better programmer (more confident, more aware) when I broadened out from just Python, but I don't think adding 1 or 2 more now would give me any real boost. Maybe if I tapped into a truly functional language… hm.
I just remembered, when I put Ruby on my skills the recruiters came rushing at me, it was just a crazy uptick, so there are more marketable languages than others!
I'd generally recommend developers learn one or two other languages if possible. Would you recommend devs to broaden out?
