Do most C++ devs stick to only C++ or do you also use other languages?

My general impression has always been that C++ developers tend to stick to C++ and don’t branch out much. But I recently read somewhere that devs who only work with one language are actually pretty rare and that focusing on just one might not be the best career move.

Personally I only really know C++. I love the language but I’ll admit that it’s been tough finding jobs that are purely C++. Recently I had to use a different language for a short term task at work and honestly I really didn’t enjoy it.

So I’m curious how common is it for people here to stick with just C++?
Do you mostly work in C++ only or do you also use other languages regularly (either for work or side projects)?
