How many programming languages do you regularly switch between?

Whether because of your job or your personal habits, how many languages do you effectively use simultaneously?

For my everyday job I use C#, JavaScript, SQL today. For my hobby projects I use TypeScript, Java, Golang and Python.

Mostly, I'm switching all the time between Java, C#, Javascript (node.js), Typescript (React/Angular) and sometimes PHP due to many projects that I'm involved.

node, python, html, css, javascript, typescript, shell, sql, orms, bash, react, differents clouds... really too much lol
For personnal project I like much the DJango Stack, Bootstrap/react as frontend, postgres as database. Hosted on heroku, ibm codeengine or whatever like that. Thus I just have to push on github and everything deploy.

I'm a WordPress/PHP developer right now, and only the WordPress plugin I'm working on right now makes me work with PHP/SQL/JavaScript/CSS/HTML altogether.
In the rest of the time, I use different JS/PHP libraries & frameworks as well like Vue.js/jQuery/Laravel.

Now I feel bad to see how everyone else here use much more languages than me :)

I'm still in college so I try as many as possible to improve the ability to learn new language faster. Recently I use Rust (Actix), Java (Spring Boot) and also Php (Laravel)
Fix me if I'm wrong.

For work, I use mostly PHP, SQL, and JavaScript, some Python and Bash for scripting. HTML and CSS too if those count.

For side projects, I mostly use Python. Some of projects use PHP or JavaScript. For repository files and documentation, I could add Markdown and RST.

I tutor in C, C++, Java, and several other languages.

There are 25+ languages that I am familiar with and have used. On a daily basis, I'd say between 3 and 6 different languages.

I try to limit programming to 1 skill set at a time e.g. Front end or back end, machine learning or database architecture, etc. Only a few languages in each topic depending on tech trends and try to learn iteratively on core skills

TLDR; I’ve gravited toward Node, Python, SQL, SASS; primarily web development right now and scripting for automation

I switch between PHP and Javascript quite often although I'm enjoying using them both!
