Yeah. I've toyed with dozens of languages since I first started in 1984. A lot of them, even those I used for years, I would not say today that I "know" them, because I don't remember enough to just jump in and be productive. I'm currently working with... Let's say three languages, only two very actively (the third one is more of an occasional maintenance thing, so I often have to reset my brain if I need to do anything non trivial).
The ability, the willingness to learn something new (language or whatever) is more important than something like, "knowing X languages", because that's a completely meaningless metric as far as I'm concerned.

Agreed.
(I have edited the article to include frameworks instead of learning a new language altogether)
