I think this is a great selection of languages, but I personally think you have to be a bit careful saying things like ‘you’re not a real programmer unless XYZ...’ - so many of us, even very experienced and capable people, struggle with imposter syndrome and we have to be careful not to encourage ‘gatekeeping’. Otherwise great article! I might have to give scala a go!

I didn't mean that, and you are right; even I am not expert on all of this language. the whole point is learning multiple programming languages with different paradigm help you to become a better developer. So it's more an encouragement to learn more programming language to become a polyglot and improve yourself.
