I wish I'd been taught more than one programming language when I was first introduced to coding. We could have focused on just one, but a journey through some other paradigms on the side would have given me a lot more context for the whole craft.

When you only learn one environment, it's hard to gain an abstract understanding of what is actually going on when a program is running.
