Although this is a general statement often used and probably a truism, I
don't think it necessarily increases your chances of _interesting_
employment. If you ask me, success lies in specialization, not vast general
experience, especially in the informatics business.

It's become such a vast area that it is utterly impossible to master all of
it. If you are in the market for a sweat shop job, offering a myriad of
language skills might get you there. If you want something more interesting,
make sure your skills are rare. The language won't matter all that much
then. You might specialize in finance, medicine, real-time processing, etc.

Anyhow, it depends what DA is after.
