I'd love to learn Erlang, Go, Rust, Julia, and little languages like Faust, fix-up-crummy-exiting languages like Kotlin , Less, Typescript --- but I'd have to get paid for that. And as pointed out, language is kind of irrelevant: it's the universe of RESTful APIs, overused packages like jquery and numpy, and tensorflow , and of course your problem space's idiolectical coding conventions, testing workflow, and legacy quirks and polyfilling that means that lots and lots of learning needs to go on. And all that learning needs to be compensated.
