The kinds of devs who don’t regularly learn new languages are generally the ones you don’t want to hire.

Learning new languages is a different thing than crunching into the next JavaScript fud.
The great thing about learning more languages is that you tend to gain new skills to take back to your old projects. This is especially true for languages meaningfully different than those you know.

The same can be true of frameworks, databases and other tools.
