My path was to try multiple languages then I settled down on one.
I learned from each one I've learned, even if I didn't use it much.
There are plenty of transferable skills and concepts.
Learn haskell, go back to Java but write it a bit differently.
Then at some point I settled down on Kotlin because it was very productive for most things I wanted to do with a programming language.
Even if Rust or whatever were marginally better, the existing skills I had make Kotlin the obvious choice and I focused instead of aspects that made bigger impact, and usually those were non technical things.
