The problem with learning numerous programming languages with the implicit hope of learning about various programming pradigms is that it's not a focussed approach. Instead explicitly set out to learn different programming paradigms and hopefully avoid languages which have an overlap of programming paradigms.

So instead of "In 2017, learn every language" I would say "In 2017, learn every programming paradigm".

While I'm ultimately not a fan of the books themselves the "Seven Languages in Seven Weeks" series tries to do exactly this.
