>You are an independent developer, right? There are many who are more at the mercy of the market whether they want to be or not. I would love to stay with Foxpro for the rest of my development career - I'm very comfortable coding in it - but I have found it harder and harder in the past 5 years to find contracts/permanent positions. I think that there are two sides to this. If you have the choice to only learn/use one tool great, but when you don't have the choice, what is wrong with having mulitple languages in your toobox?
I agree with what others have said: "You can master only one". I think mastering one language is more important than beeing average in two.

>>A Long time ago, I wrote a Z80 compiler and a text game in Turbo Pascal, wrote a scalar expression calculator in C++, wrote a graphical editor in assembly. I managed to get the job done in with my language independed programming skills, but aside from Z80 assembly I never mastered the other languages.

>>Today, I mastered SQL, Crystal Reports and VFP, while doing some C/C++ from time to time (though I'm not too comfortable in this). However, I think it does not make sense to learn too many additional languages. Just master one (at a time) and don't spend a lot of time in the other but earn your bread with it.
