That's really true.
And to add to that, learning a new language may enlighten you on things you thought you understood in Java, or things you were not so sure.

When I moved from Asp.net MVC to .net core, I was frustrated with the new way of doing things ... and the language was the same!
I learned how to use it but recently, coming to NodeJS environment, I saw that it had a similar way (I think Microsoft realized the way the evolution in the javascript world was worth emulating?) but in the NodeJS "world", everything was so far better explained that I started to understand what I was doing.
Then, reflecting on my .net core application, I finally understood why it was working the way it does!

All that to say that you may learn to understand Java even more by doing other things ;)
